The Tale Of Peter Rabbit

by Beatrix Potter

Peter Rabbit is an inquisitive fellow. He's the middle child of his family of 14, and always feels a little left out. His family lives on the edge of Angel McGregor's farm, and his parents are constantly telling their children to stay out of their garden, unless they want to turn into a lucky charm, like poor Uncle Bopper. But Peter is small, and thinks that he has reflexes like a ninja. Mr. McGregor always has such wonderful food growing, and Peter is hungry, there's only so much nutrients in the grasses his mother prepares for their meals. So one day he sneaks under the fence, and heads towards the garden. He must pass the house in order to get to it, and as he sneaks around the corner he sees a peculiar sight. A beautiful woman is peering through one of the windows, sighing and whispering about how beautiful Angel is. She's so caught up in her bizarre fantasy that she doesn't notice the tiny rabbit creep past.
