<P> The story focuses on a family of anthropomorphic rabbits . The widowed mother rabbit cautions her young against entering the vegetable garden of a man named Mr. McGregor , telling them : `` your Father had an accident there ; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor '' . Her three daughters obediently refrain from entering the garden , going down the lane to pick blackberries , but her rebellious son Peter enters the garden to snack on some vegetables . Peter ends up eating more than is good for him and goes looking for parsley to cure his stomach ache . Peter is spotted by Mr. McGregor and loses his jacket and shoes while trying to escape . He hides in a watering can in a shed , but then has to run away again when Mr. McGregor finds him , and ends up completely lost . After sneaking past a cat , Peter sees the gate where he entered the garden from a distance and heads for it , despite being spotted and chased by Mr. McGregor again . With difficulty he wriggles under the gate , and escapes from the garden , but he spots his abandoned clothing being used to dress Mr. McGregor 's scarecrow . After returning home , a sick Peter is sent to bed by his mother , while his well - behaved sisters receive a sumptuous dinner of milk and berries as opposed to Peter 's supper of chamomile tea . </P>
