【英语原版童书】彼得兔的故事（2）

 First he ate some lettuces¹ and some French beans; and then he ate some radishes;

And then, feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsley.

 

But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor!

Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages,

but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving a rake and calling out, 'Stop thief!'
