3/4 The Tale of Mr. Tod, Sunday 16th December
Tommy Brock, a starving badger is being entertained by old Mr. Bouncer, the father of Benjamin Bunny. Mr. Bouncer has been left to tend his grandchildren while his son and daughter-in-law Flopsy are away, but when he falls asleep in Tommy's company. Tommy kidnaps the bunnies and puts them into his sack and slips out. When the parents return, Benjamin sets off in pursuit of the thief.
Benjamin finds and brings his cousin Peter Rabbit into the rescue venture, and the two discover Tommy has invaded one of Mr. Tod's homes. Mr. Tod, a fox, has multiple homes but keeps moving around. Often Tommy lodges in his homes. Peeping through the bedroom window, the rabbits see Tommy asleep in Mr. Tod's bed, and, peeping through the kitchen window, they see the table set for a meal. Will Benjamin and Peter save the babies and escape Tommy Brock, and what will happen when Mr.Tod unexpectedly returns to the cottage?
