THEN he took out the handkerchief of onions, and marched out of the garden.
When Mr. McGregor returned about half an hour later, he observed several things which perplexed him.
It looked as though some person had been walking all over the garden in a pair of clogs—only the foot-marks were too ridiculously little!
Also he could not understand how the cat could have managed to shut herself up INSIDE the green-house, locking the door upon the OUTSIDE.
WHEN Peter got home, his mother forgave him, because she was so glad to see that he had found his shoes and coat. Cotton-tail and Peter folded up the pocket-handkerchief, and old Mrs. Rabbit strung up the onions and hung them from the kitchen ceiling, with the rabbit-tobacco.
THE END
THE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES
FOR ALL LITTLE FRIENDS OF MR. McGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN
IT is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is "soporific."
I have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then I am not a rabbit.
