PETER RABBIT’S CHRISTMAS

ALL good little girls and good little boys know that Peter Rabbit lived with his Mother and his little sisters, Flopsy, and Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, down in a sand bank, under the roots of a big fir-tree.

It was a wonderful house, so nice and warm in winter, and so nice and cool in summer.

NOW Flopsy and Mopsy and Cotton-tail were good little rabbits, but Peter was always up to mischief.

When Old Mother Rabbit said he couldn’t, or when she said he shouldn’t, of course that was the very thing that Peter always wanted to do.

One day he ran away and went all the way over to Mr. McGregor’s farm. There he saw all the little wooly lambs, and made friends with Thomas, the big Maltese stable cat. He fell in the pond, and had many other adventures, but at last he got back home, all safe and sound.
