" Rabbit tobacco ! I shall skin them and cut off their heads . " MRS . McGREGOR untied the sack and put her hand inside . When she felt the vegetables she became very very angry . She said that Mr . McGregor had " done it a purpose . " AND Mr . McGregor was very angry too . One of the rotten marrows came flying through the kitchen window , and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny . It was rather hurt . THEN Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home . SO Mr . McGregor did not get his tobacco , and Mrs . McGregor did not get her rabbit skins . But next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough rabbit - wool to make herself a cloak and a hood , and a handsome muff and a pair of warm mittens . THE END IN REMEMBRANCE OF " SAMMY , " THE INTELLIGENT PINK - EYED REPRESENTATIVE OF A PERSECUTED ( BUT IRREPRESSIBLE ) RACE . AN AFFECTIONATE LITTLE FRIEND . AND MOST ACCOMPLISHED THIEF ! THE ROLY - POLY PUDDING ONCE upon a time there was an old cat , called Mrs . Tabitha Twitchit , who was an anxious parent . She used to lose her kittens continually , and whenever they were lost they were always in mischief ! On baking day she determined to shut them up in a cupboard . She caught Moppet and Mittens , but she could not find Tom . Mrs . Tabitha went up and down all over the house , mewing for Tom Kitten . She looked in the pantry under the staircase , and she searched the best spare bedroom that was all covered up with dust sheets . She went right upstairs and looked into the attics , but she could not find him anywhere . It was an old , old house , full of cupboards and passages . Some of the walls were four feet thick , and there used to be queer noises inside them , as if there might be a little secret staircase . Certainly there were odd little jagged doorways in the wainscot , and things disappeared at night — especially cheese and bacon . Mrs . Tabitha became more and more distracted , and mewed dreadfully . While their mother was searching the house , Moppet and Mittens had got into mischief . The cupboard door was not locked , so they pushed it open and came out . They went straight to the dough which was set to rise in a pan before the fire . They patted it with their little soft paws — " Shall we make dear little muffins ? " said Mittens to Moppet . But just at that moment somebody knocked at the front door , and Moppet jumped into the flour barrel in a fright . Mittens ran away to the dairy , and hid in an empty jar on the stone shelf where the milk pans stand . The visitor was a neighbor , Mrs . Ribby ; she had called to borrow some yeast . Mrs . Tabitha came downstairs mewing dreadfully — " Come in , Cousin Ribby , come in , and sit ye down ! I'm in sad trouble , Cousin Ribby , " said Tabitha , shedding tears . " I've lost my dear son Thomas ; I'm afraid the rats have got him . " She wiped her eyes with an apron .
