Listen To The The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Audio)
Once upon a time, in a lovely garden, lived a curious little rabbit named Peter. He was full of mischief and loved exploring places where he wasn’t supposed to go. One sunny day, Peter’s mother, Mrs. Rabbit, warned him and his siblings, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, not to enter Mr. McGregor’s garden. Peter’s siblings obediently went to gather berries, but Peter had other plans. He couldn’t resist the temptation and sneaked into the forbidden garden.
Peter’s Mischief in the Garden
As soon as Peter slipped under the garden gate, he started nibbling on all sorts of delicious vegetables, lettuces, French beans, and radishes. Peter was having a grand time until he suddenly heard a loud shout. Mr. McGregor had spotted him!
The Chase Begins
Frightened, Peter dashed through the garden, knocking over flowerpots and squeezing under gates. Mr. McGregor was right on his tail, waving a rake and shouting angrily. Poor Peter lost both of his shoes while running and found himself in more and more trouble. He tried hiding in a watering can, but it was full of water. Eventually, Peter made a daring escape by wriggling under a gate, but he was shaken and exhausted.
Home at Last
Peter ran all the way home, soaked and without his clothes, and collapsed on the floor. His mother was worried, but after a cup of chamomile tea, Peter felt much better. Meanwhile, his obedient siblings enjoyed a delicious dinner of bread, milk, and berries.
