Page II
Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving his rake and calling out, "Stop, thief!"
Peter was most dreadfully frightened. He rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate.
He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe among the potatoes.
After losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have escaped if he had not unfortunately run into a gooseberry net, and got caught by the large buttons on his jacket. It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new.
Peter gave himself up for lost, and shed big tears, but his sobs were overhead by some friendly sparrow, who flew to him in great excitement, and implored him to exert himself.
Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve, which he intended to pop upon the top of Peter, but Peter wriggled out just in time, leaving his jacket behind him.
He rushed to the tool-shed and jumped into a can. It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in if it had not had so much water in it.
Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the tool-shed, perhaps hidden underneath a flower-pot. He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each.
Presently Peter sneezed - "Kerchoo!" Mr. McGregor was after him in no time, and tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants. The window was too small for Mr. McGregor, and he was tired of running after Peter. He went back to his work.
