Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were—

Flopsy,

Mopsy,

Cotton-tail,

and Peter.

They lived with their

Mother in a sand-

bank, underneath the

root of a very big fir-

tree.

'Now my dears,' said

old Mrs. Rabbit one

morning, 'you may go

into the fields or down

the lane, but don't go

into Mr. McGregor's

garden: your Father had

an accident there; he

was put in a pie by Mrs.

McGregor.'
