The Hare and the Hound

A HOUND started a Hare from his lair, but after a long run, gave up the

chase. A goat-herd seeing him stop, mocked him, saying “The little one

is the best runner of the two.” The Hound replied, “You do not see the

difference between us: I was only running for a dinner, but he for his

life.”
