`` Dear me ! dear me ! '' said Grandfather Frog , shaking his head solemnly . `` Things had come to a dreadful pass on the Green Meadows . Reddy Fox and Bobby Coon never met without fighting . Jimmy Skunk and Johnny Chuck turned their backs on each other . Jerry Muskrat , Little Joe Otter , and Billy Mink called each other bad names . All because Mr. Rabbit had told so many stories that were not true . `` Now when old Mother Nature visited the Green Meadows she soon saw what a dreadful state all the meadow people were in , and she began to inquire how it all came about . '' ` It 's all because of Mr. Rabbit , ' said Reddy Fox . '' ` No one is to blame but Mr. Rabbit , ' said Striped Chipmunk . `` Everywhere old Mother Nature inquired it was the same -- Mr. Rabbit , Mr. Rabbit , Mr. Rabbit . `` So then old Mother Nature sent for blustering great Mr. North Wind , who is very strong . And she sent for Mr. Rabbit . `` Mr. Rabbit trembled in his shoes when he got old Mother Nature 's message . He would have liked to run away and hide . But he did not dare do that , for he knew that there was nowhere he could hide that Mother Nature would not find him sooner or later . And besides , his curiosity would give him no peace . He just had to know what old Mother Nature wanted . `` So Peter Rabbit put on his best suit , which was very shabby , and set out for the Lone Pine to see what old Mother Nature wanted .
When he got there , he found all the little people of the Green XXXXX and all the little folks of the Green Forest there before him .
