The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
Setting: The fir tree, McGregor's Garden
Characters: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, Peter, Mrs. Rabbit, McGregor, bird, mouse, white cat
Theme: Listen to your parents, Danger
Mrs. Rabbit was going out, and she told her four children, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter, to be good and go down the lane. Everyone but Peter listened. Peter decided to go to Mr. McGregor's garden instead. The four rabbits were not supposed to go there because their father was made into a pie by being caught in there. Peter snuck into the garden and ate some things from the garden, but Mr. McGregor saw him while he was planting. Then he chased Peter with a rake, and Peter couldn't figure out where the gate was. He lost his shoes, and then got caught in a gooseberry bush. He finally got himself free but lost his jacket. He ran into the tool shed and fell into a watering can. Mr. McGregor went to look for him in the tool shed and heard him sneeze. Peter jumped out a window and got lost. A mouse couldn't help him, but finally he saw the gate. He ran out of the gate and all the way home. Once he got home, he fell asleep, and his mom wondered where his clothes were. He began to not feel well and only had tea for dinner while everyone else had a lot to eat.
