The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck
&
The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit
Synopsis
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck is about
an absent-minded duck, Jemima, who takes flight on a fine spring
day in search of a place to lay her eggs. Jemima meets a handsome
foxy-whiskered gentleman who invites to lay her eggs in his shed.
She travels back and forth for many days and nights, laying eggs
in the gentleman's hovel. One day, the foxy-whiskered gentleman
suggests that they should have dinner together, and sends her
shopping for some herbs and an onion. Little does she know he is
planning to have duck soup for dinner! An honest collie
discovers her searching for the herbs and finds out all about her
story. With the help of two rowdy foxhound puppies they save the
day.
In The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, the Fierce Bad Rabbit and the Nice Gentle Rabbit argue over the ownership of a carrot. He takes the carrot with out even saying please! After a brief skirmish with a Hunter, the Fierce Bad Rabbit lives to regret his bad manners.
