Plot summary
Flopsy and Benjamin Bunny have a hard time finding enough food for their numerous children, the Flopsy Bunnies. Peter Rabbit doesn't have any cabbages to spare from his garden, so they go to Mr. McGregor’s rubbish heap, pleasantly surprised to find it filled with overgrown lettuces. They eat their fill and then fall asleep. When Mr. McGregor finds them he puts the still sleeping bunnies in a bag. Thomasina Tittlemouse comes to the rescue biting a hole to get them out. Benjamin and Flopsy refill the bag with rotten vegetables, and when Mr. McGregor takes it home, he ends up being scolded by his sister.
