Afterlosingthem,heranonfourlegsandwentfaster鞋丢了之后,他跑得更快了.

过了一会儿,他又开始到处蹦跶,蹦的不是很快,并且还在四处张望着.

Hefoundadoorinawall;butitwaslockedandtherewasnoroomforafatlittlerabbittosqueezeunderneath.他在墙上找到了一扇锁住了的门,门下的空间小的让让彼得无法挤进去.

Anoldmousewasrunninginandoutoverthestonedoorstep,carryingpeasandbeanstoherfamilyinthewood.Peteraskedherthewaytothegatebutshehadsuchalargepeainhermouthshecouldnotanswer.Sheonlyshookherheadathim.一只老鼠在石阶上进进出出,正在给她树林里的家人送豆子.彼得问她去大门的路怎么走,但她的嘴里咬着豌豆,无法回答.她只是对他摇了摇头.

之后,他试图找到穿过花园的路,但是他越来越迷惑了.现在他来到了一个池塘边,麦格雷戈先生正在那装水壶.一只白色的猫在盯着一些金鱼,她非常安静地坐着,但是她的尾巴时不时的扭动着,就像活着的动物一样.彼得认为最好还是不要跟她说话,然后就走开了.

Hehadheardaboutcatsfromhiscousin,littleBenjaminBunny.他从他的表哥BenjaminBunny那里听说过猫这种动物.
