Episode Synopsis
Send us a textPeter Rabbit, focused solely on avoiding ground predators, carelessly overlooks the danger from above. As he hops confidently towards the Old Pasture, feeling increasingly safe, he dismisses a moving shadow as a cloud. Stopping for sweet clover, he ignores an inner warning. Suddenly, the shadow returns, and sharp claws tear his coat. He dodges desperately, but the assailant pursues him, tearing his coat again. He finally dives under a bramble-bush in the Old Pasture, realizing with horror that he had forgotten about Hooty the Owl.Notable Quotes:"Now what's the use, pray tell me this, When all is said and done; A thousand things and one to learn, And then forget the one? For when that one alone you need, And nothing else will do, What good are all the thousand then? I do not see; do you?" – Peter Rabbit (epigraph, directly relating to Peter's forgetfulness)Summary:The immediate and harsh consequences of Peter's heedlessness and selective fear of predators.A vivid description of the owl's attack and Peter's narrow escape into the Old Pasture.A critical lesson learned about the importance of constant vigilance.Support the show
