Peter. Rabbit 'grew very unhappy and lonesome 

 in. his Old Briar-patch one spring day, and he de- 

 cided to '. visit ' the Old Pasture in search of new 

 friends and experiences. So off he went, lipperty- 

 lipperty-lip. But up in the Old Pasture, trouble was 

 waiting for Peter, for he found big, gray, old Jed 

 Thumper, who tried to drive Peter home. Perhaps 

 Peter would not have stayed, if he had not met 

 Little Miss Fuzzytail, but he liked her so well that 

 he would not leave until she had promised to go with 

 him. Finally she agreed to become Mrs. Peter 

 Rabbit, and off the two went, back to the Old 

 Briar-patch. 



Here Mrs. Peter set up housekeeping, and Mr. 

 Burgess tells how she made Peter's old friends hers, 

 and how she helped and advised him, and how they 

 brought up their family of four cunning, furry, little 

 baby rabbits.
