This story is about Red Rooster, an arrogant bird who constantly boasts about his bravery and fighting skills to the other barnyard animals, including a new, peaceful drake. Despite chasing off one rival and bragging loudly from the henhouse roof, his claims are put to the test when a hawk swoops down and grabs him while he's too busy boasting to heed warnings. He is only saved when his master shoots the hawk, but the rooster foolishly tries to take credit for the victory. The other animals, however, saw what really happened and call him out, leaving the rooster humbled and illustrating the moral that pride and boasting ("crowing too soon") can lead to downfall and make one ignore real danger.

In Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan," Ribby the cat invites Duchess the dog for tea, intending to serve a mouse pie, much to Duchess's secret horror. Duchess plots to swap Ribby's pie with her own veal and ham pie (containing a metal patty-pan) by sneaking it into Ribby's oven while Ribby is out. However, due to using different ovens, Ribby serves her original mouse pie. Duchess eats it, mistakenly thinks it's her own, and descends into panic when she can't find the patty-pan, believing she's swallowed it. The resulting chaos involves fetching a doctor (a magpie), Duchess eventually discovering her untouched pie and realising her mistake, and trying to hide the evidence, leading to a funny conclusion where Ribby is left utterly confused by the eventual discovery of the patty-pan, resolving to invite someone else next time.

Uncle Wiggily and the Cheshire Cat is a short story following Uncle Wiggily Longears, a polite rabbit gentleman whose woodland stroll takes a dangerous turn after he picks up a lost piece of Cheshire cheese. The cheese's lingering scent convinces a gang of hungry rats that he himself is their dinner, and they haul him underground into a locked room. With cheese knives appearing and no escape in sight, Uncle Wiggily's only hope lies in an earlier act of kindness — and a very unusual cat with a very wide smile.

"The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher" tells the story of a polite frog who lives by a pond and decides to go fishing for minnows to serve for dinner, hoping to invite his friends Sir Isaac Newton (a newt) and Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise. Despite the rain, he equips himself with a macintosh and goloshes, rows his lily-pad boat out, and casts his line. His fishing trip is fraught with minor mishaps: he gets nibbled by a water beetle, worries about rats, and catches a prickly stickleback instead of a minnow. The real trouble begins when a huge trout leaps out and swallows him whole, only to spit him back out immediately because it dislikes the taste of his raincoat (though it keeps his goloshes). A terrified Mr. Jeremy scrambles home, abandoning fishing forever, and instead serves his guests a dinner of roasted grasshopper with lady-bird sauce.
