** Peter himself gets in trouble after sneaking into [=McGregor's=] garden
** Peter's cousin Benjamin Bunny encourages him to return to [=McGregor's=] garden to retrieve Peter's coat and shoes, but they two wind up trapped there until Benjamin's father comes to their rescue
** Benjamin Bunny and Flopsy Rabbit eventually marry and have a litter of kits, and their children wind up kidnapped ''twice'' (first by Farmer [=McGregor=], and then by Tommy Brock the badger)

** "The Tale of Ginger and Pickles": Ginger the cat and Pickles the dog run a small village shop frequented by many species of customers. They have a bit of difficulty serving prey animals while wanting to eat them:
--->Ginger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow tom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\\
The rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\\
The shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of Ginger.\\
Ginger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made his mouth water.\\
"I cannot bear," said he, "to see them going out at the door carrying their little parcels."\\
"I have the same feeling about rats," replied Pickles, "but it would never do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha Twitchit's."
