MR. MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN

It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is "soporific."

I have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then I am not a rabbit.

They certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!

When Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a large family, and

they were very improvident and cheerful.

I do not remember the separate names of their children; they were generally called the

"Flopsy Bunnies."

As there was not always quite enough to eat,—Benjamin used to borrow cabbages from

Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.

Sometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.
