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 bigfir-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.”

“Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.”

Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the wood to the baker's. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns.

Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries. Qthx9pvbop1mN8u99rBGeY9mYUAxE0tIvLPQcArc4amuBbcwCReU1HhyyrCTz1GV
