The Hares and the Frogs
The
Hares and the Frogs
The Hares were so
persecuted by the other beasts, they did not know where to go. As soon as they
saw a single animal approach them, off they used to run. One day they saw a
troop of wild Horses stampeding about, and in quite a panic all the Hares
scuttled off to a lake hard by, determined to drown themselves rather than live
in such a continual state of fear. But just as they got near the bank of the
lake, a troop of Frogs, frightened in their turn by the approach of the Hares
scuttled off and jumped into the water. “Truly,” said one of the Hares,
“things are not so bad as they seem. There is always someone worse off than
yourself.”
