He realizes this is a magic rock so he went to the Lion’s house and asked to come on a walk with him because he wanted to take his yams. The lion fainted and the spider took them. He did the same thing to the elephant and he stole his bananas. He also did it to the rhinoceros, giraffe, hippo, and zebra. But the whole time a little bush deer was watching him. She decided she would trick him and gathered coconuts and sat on her porch. So Anansi asked if she wanted to go for a walk and she did.

She went and got all of the other animals and they all gathered their food. However, he didn’t learn his lesson because he still plays tricks to this day.

But when the wolf comes to blow the first straw house down, the pig gets blown out of the story and into different fairytales. The first pig then convinces the other pigs to come with him and folds the page where the wolf is left into a paper plane and flies into an adventure through the different fairytale books. They meet the cat from Hay Diddle Diddle and he follows the pigs out of the story. They see a dragon and a prince who is about the slay him and the pigs and cat rescue him, which leaves the prince very confused. They all sit and have soup while the one pig fixed the page again to hop back into the brick house where they all go to stay.
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter lived with their mother in a sand bank. She told them they could go anywhere besides Mr. McGregor’s garden because their father was put in a pie there. Mrs Rabbit left to get a loaf of bread and 5 currant buns and the 3 children went to pick blackberries but Peter went into McGregor’s garden. He ate lettuce, French Beans, and Radishes and then looked for Parsley for his upset stomach but he ran into McGregor by the cucumbers and started chasing Peter. He lost one of his shoes by the cabbage and potatoes but got stuck in a gooseberry net. Right before McGregor trapped him with a sieve, Peter got free and hid in a can. He sneezed and McGregor spotted him and started chasing him again and almost stepped on him, but got tired and stopped chasing Peter. Peter rested and then began to wander around to find the gate where he came in from. He asked a mouse but his mouth was full and just shook his head, and saw a white cat but didn’t bother it because of what his cousin little Benjamin Bunny told him about cats. He then saw McGregor hoeing onions and saw the gate behind him and Peter darted towards it, McGregor chasing after him again. He saw a scarecrow made of his jacket and shoes to scare the blackbirds. He escaped and started running until he reached the fir tree and fell asleep on the floor by his mother. It was his 2nd pair of clothing he lost in a week. She gave him 1 teaspoon of chamomile tea and his siblings had bread, milk and blackberries.
