Summary

Why Peter Rabbit cannot fold his hands is another story that tells us a story about Peter Rabbit told by Grandfather Frog. We learn why Peter cannot fold his hands when Jack Squirrel asks Grandfather Frog. It seems that Peter’s great, great, great grandfather many times over was quite lazy and liked to sleep in the sun with his hands folded. One day Old Mother Nature came to visit and saw Mr. Rabbit sleeping like this waiting for his friends to come over and do his work for him. She got upset and said he and his children would never be able to fold their hands again until their work was done. So Peter, who is still a bit lazy, also cannot fold his work. He is too busy looking into other people’s business to worry about his own.
