Peter jumped out of the watering can.
"Hey!" cried the farmer.
Peter ran and ran.
Finally the farmer stopped chasing him.
Now Peter was lost.
"Where's the gate?" he asked a mouse.
But the mouse ran away.
Suddenly Peter gasped. "A cat!"
The cat was watching fish in the pond.
She didn't see Peter.
"Whew!" whispered Peter.
He quietly slipped away.
"I must find the gate!" said Peter.
Scritch, scratch! Peter heard a noise.
He climbed onto a wheelbarrow to see.
The farmer was working in the onion patch.
Scritch, scratch! Then Peter saw something else.
"The gate!" he cried.
Peter shot across the garden.
The farmer chased him. "Stop, rabbit!"
But Peter was too fast.
He squeezed under the gate and ran home.
Mrs. Rabbit scolded Peter. "Naughty rabbit!
You lost your jacket and shoes!"
The other bunnies ate bread and blackberries.
But Peter didn't get any. Peter sneezed.
Mrs. Rabbit gave him medicine.
Then she sent him to bed.
