Histoire de Pierre Lapin

Name: Histoire de Pierre Lapin
Author: Beatrix Potter

A mischievous young rabbit disobeys his mother's warning and slips into a gardener's plot, where he overeats lettuces, beans, and radishes. When the gardener spots him he panics, loses a coat and shoes, and becomes entangled in nets and a watering can, getting soaked before narrowly escaping. He finally finds his way home exhausted and unwell. His mother tends him with chamomile while his well-behaved siblings enjoy a simple supper. The narrative mixes light peril and comedy with a quiet moral about curiosity, consequences, and parental care.
