Postquam a Domino McGregor prope captus est, Petro per hortum fugit, amittens vestimenta sua et tandem revertens domum fatigatus et aegrotus. Mater eius eum in lectum mittit postquam sibi de adventuris narravit, dum tres sorores eius sanas herbas edunt. Haec fabula docet de obedientia et consequentiis actionum nostrorum.
