Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter lived with their Mother in a sand bank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree.

Mrs. Rabbit told the rabbits they can go into the fields or down the lane, but never into Mr.McGregor's garden. Mrs. McGregor put their father into a pie.

"NOW run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out."

Mrs. Rabbit went to the baker's to buy a loaf of bread and currant buns. Meanwhile, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail went down the lane, but Peter went into Mr. McGregor's garden.

Peter ate some vegetables while in the garden, but as he reached for the cucumbers, he unexpectedly encounters Mr. McGregor.

In his encounter with Mr. McGregor, Peter Rabbit gets chased with a rake. Terrified Peter, ran all around the garden until he lost one shoe in the cabbages and the other in the potatoes.
