And Mr. McGregor was very angry too.
En meneer McGregor was ook erg boos.
One of the rotten marrows came flying through the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.
Een van de rotte meloenen kwam door het keukenraam gevlogen en raakte het jongste Flopsy Konijntje.
It was rather hurt.
Het was behoorlijk gewond.

So Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her rabbit skins.
Dus meneer McGregor kreeg zijn tabak niet, en mevrouw McGregor kreeg haar konijnenvellen niet.

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.
Maar met de volgende Kerst kreeg Thomasina Tittlemouse een cadeau van genoeg konijnenwol om zichzelf een mantel en een kap te maken, en een mooie mof en een paar warme wanten.
