My father is also a coach of the school volleyball team. Computer is his hobby. He knows everything about modern devices and also he can repair them. My father is calm and friendly person. My grandparents are not very old. They live not far from us in a private house with a big garden in the yard. They both retired and now spend most of their time in the garden. They are my father’s parents. As for my mother parents they live abroad. Last time I saw them on last year Christmas party. They are kind and cheerful people. I have many cousins. One of them Sveta is also my best friend. Sveta is 2 years older. She is funny and clever; I can talk with her for hours. She plays piano and sings well.

The story focuses on a family of anthropomorphic rabbits, the widowed mother rabbit cautioning her young against entering a vegetable garden grown by a man named Mr. McGregor, telling them: "your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor". Whereas her three daughters obediently refrain from entering the garden, going down the lane to pick blackberries, her rebellious son Peter enters the garden to snack on some vegetables. Peter ends up eating more than is good for him and goes looking for parsley to cure his stomach ache. However, Peter is spotted by Mr. McGregor and loses his jacket and shoes while trying to escape. He hides in a watering can in a shed, but then has to run away again when Mr. McGregor finds him, and ends up completely lost. After sneaking past a cat, Peter sees the gate where he entered the garden from a distance and heads for it, despite being spotted and chased by Mr. McGregor again. He finds difficulties in wriggling beneath the gate, but manages to escape the garden, only to spot his abandoned clothing articles being used to dress Mr. McGregor's scarecrow. After returning home, a sick Peter is sent to bed by his mother whereas his well-behaved sisters receive a sumptuous dinner of milk and berries as opposed to Peter's supper of chamomile tea.
