to the

of a pony.

As soon as

little
Benjamin Bunny
slid down
into the road,
7
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/f/fc/BenjaminBunny4.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay

and set off
with a hop,
skip,and a jump
to call uponhis relations,

That wood
was full
of rabbit holes;

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/2/2c/BenjaminBunny5.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay

Little Benjamin
did not very muchwant to see
his aunt.
18
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny6.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
19/108
He came
round the back
of the fir-tree,
19
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny6.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
20/108
and nearly
tumbled
upon the top
of his cousin
Peter.
20
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny6.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
21/108
Peter
was sitting
by himself.
21
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/c/cf/BenjaminBunny7.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
22/108
He lookedpoorly,
and wasdressed
in a red cotton
pocket-handkerchief.
22
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/c/cf/BenjaminBunny7.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay

"Peter,"said
little Benjamin,
in a whisper,
"whos has gotyour clothes?"

7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
25/108
and described
how he had
been chased
about the garden,
25
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/d/d4/BenjaminBunny8.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
26/108
and had droppedhis shoes and coat.
26
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/d/d4/BenjaminBunny8.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
27/108
Little Benjaminsat down beside
his cousin
and assuredhim that
Mr. McGregor
had gone outin a gig,
27
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/d/d4/BenjaminBunny8.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
28/108
and
Mrs. McGregor
also;
28
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/d/d4/BenjaminBunny8.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
29/108
and certainly
for the day,
because she
was wearing
her best bonnet.
29
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/d/d4/BenjaminBunny8.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
30/108
Peter said
he hopedthat it would
rain.
30
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
31/108
At this point
old Mrs. Rabbit's
voice was heardinside the rabbit hole,
calling:
31
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
32/108
"Cotton-tail!
Cotton-tail!
Fetch some more
chamomile!
32
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
33/108
Peter said
he thought
he mightfeel better
if he went
for a walk.
33
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
34/108
They went awayhand in hand,
34
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
35/108
and got upon
the flat top
of the wall
at the bottom
of the wood.
35
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
36/108
From here
they looked
down into
Mr. McGregor's
garden.
36
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
37/108
Peter's coat
and shoes
were plainly
to be seen
upon the scarecrow,
37
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
38/108
topped with
an oldtam-o'shanter
of Mr. McGregor's.
38
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
39/108
Little Benjaminsaid:
"It spoils
people's clothes
to squeeze
under a gate;
39
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
40/108
the proper way
to get inis to climb down
a pear-tree."
40
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
41/108
Peter fell down
head first;
but it was
of no
consequence,
41
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
42/108
as the bedbelow was
newly raked
and quite soft.
It had been sown
with lettuces.
42
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
43/108
They left
a great many
odd little
foot-marks
all over the bed,
43
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
44/108
especially
little Benjamin,who was
wearing clogs.
44
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
45/108
LittleBenjamin
said that
the first thingto be done
was to get
back Peter'sclothes,
45
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
46/108
in order that they
might be able
to use
the pocket-
handkerchief.
46
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
47/108
They tookthem off
the scarecrow.
There had
been rain
during the night;
47
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
48/108
there was water
in the shoes,
and the coat
was somewhat
shrunk.
48
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
49/108
Benjamin
tried on
the tam-o'shanter,
but it was
too big for him.
49
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
50/108
Then hesuggested
that they
should fill
the pocket-
handkerchief
with onions,
50
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny14.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
51/108
as
a little present
for his aunt.
51
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny14.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
52/108
Peter did not
seem to be
enjoying himself;
he kept
hearing noises.
52
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny14.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
53/108
Benjamin,on the contrary,
was perfectlyat home,
and atea lettuce leaf.
53
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
54/108
He said
that he was
in the habit
of coming
to the garden
54
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
55/108
with his father
to get lettucesfor their
Sunday dinner.
55
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
56/108
(The name
of little Benjamin's
papa
was old Mr.
Benjamin Bunny.)
56
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
57/108
The lettuces
certainlywere very fine.
57
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
58/108
Peterdid not
eat anything;
he said
he should like
to go home.
58
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny16.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
59/108
Presently,
he droppedhalf the onions.
59
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny16.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
60/108
Little Benjamin
said
that it wasnot possible
to get
60
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny17.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
61/108
back up
the pear-treewith a load
of vegetables.
61
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny17.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
62/108
He led the way
boldly towardsthe other end
of the garden.
62
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny17.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
63/108
They went
along a little
walk on planks,
under a sunny,
red brick wall.

7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
65/108
They winked
at Peter Rabbitand little
Benjamin Bunny.
65
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
66/108
Presently,
Peter letthe pocket-
handkerchief
go again.
66
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
67/108
They got amongst
flower-pots,and frames,
and tubs.
67
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
68/108
Peter heard noises
worse than ever;
his eyes were
as big as
lolly-pops!
68
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
69/108
He was a step
or two in front
of his cousin,
when he
suddenly stopped.
69
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
70/108
This is what
those little
rabbits saw
round
that corner!
70
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
71/108
Little Benjamin
took one look,
and then,in half a minute
less than no time,
71
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
72/108
he hid himself
and Peter
and the onionsunderneath
a large basket.
72
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
73/108
The cat got upand stretched
herself,
and came
and sniffed
at the basket.

74/108
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
75/108
Anyway,
she sat downupon the top
of the basket.
75
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny22.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
76/108
She sat therefor five hours.
76
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny22.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
77/108
I cannot draw
you a pictureof Peter
and Benjamin
underneaththe basket,
because it wasquite dark,
77
and becausethe smell of onions
was fearful.
It made
Peter Rabbit
and little Benjamincry.
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
78/108
The sun gotround behind
the wood,
and it was
quite late
in the afternoon.
78
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:BenjaminBunny22.jpg7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
79/108
But still
the cat sat
upon the basket.

At length
there was

prancing along
the topof the wall
of the upper terrace.
83
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
84/108
He was smoking
a pipeof rabbit-tobacco,
84
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
85/108
and had
a little switchin his hand.
85
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
86/108
He was lookingfor his son.
86
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
87/108
Old Mr. Bunny
had no opinionwhatever
of cats.
87
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
88/108
He took
a tremendous
jump off the top
of the wall
on to the top
of the cat,
88
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
89/108
and cuffed it
off the basket,
and kicked itinto the greenhouse,
scratching offa handful of fur.
89
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
90/108
The cat
was too muchsurprised
to scratch back.
90
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
91/108
When old
Mr. Bunny
had driven
the cat intothe greenhouse,
he lockedthe door.
91
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay

Thenhe came back

When
Mr. McGregor
returnedabout half
an hour later
96
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
97/108
he observed
several thingswhich
perplexed him.
97
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
98/108
It looked as though
some person
had been walking
all over the garden
in a pair of clogs
98
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
99/108
only
the footmarks
were tooridiculously
little!
99
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
100/108
Also he could
not understand
how the cat
could have
managed
to shut herself up
100
7/31/2019 Benjamin Bunny, Beatix Potter, AutoPlay
101/108
inside
the greenhouse,
