"No, indeed, they could not," said the hare; "for, you see, sheep have a stronger scent than I have, and they would put down their feet just in the very place where I had put down mine, and then their scent would hide mine. So, you see, by hiding amongst a flock of sheep I should save my life, for the dogs would not be able either to see me, or smell me, or to follow me, even if they could." "Have you ever done it?" said Tommy Smith. "Oh yes!" NO INDEED THEY COULD NOT SAID THE HARE FOR YOU SEE SHEEP HAVE A STRONGER SCENT THAN I HAVE AND THEY WOULD PUT DOWN THEIR FEET JUST IN THE VERY PLACE WHERE I HAD PUT DOWN MINE AND THEN THEIR SCENT WOULD HIDE MINE SO YOU SEE BY HIDING AMONGST A FLOCK OF SHEEP I SHOULD SAVE MY LIFE FOR THE DOGS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EITHER SEE ME OR SMELL ME OR TO FOLLOW ME EVEN IF THEY COULD HAVE YOU EVER DONE IT SAID TOMMY SMITH OH YES
ime when _he_ was a little boy, and he would feel sorry for you. But he would not feel sorry for _me_, who am only a little hare (he was never _that_, you know). He would throw his stick at me, as you did, and then he would do all he could to help the dogs to catch me. No, it is not the shepherd that I should ask to help me, but the sheep—_they_ are so gentle,—and when I came to them I should run right into the middle of them, and then the dogs would not be able to find me.” “But would not the dogs follow you in amongst the sheep and catch you there?” said Tommy Smith. “No,” said the hare, “they would not be able to; for the flock would keep together, so that the dogs could only run round the outside of it. But _I_ should keep right in the middle, and wherever the sheep went, I should go with them; _I_ could run between their feet, you know. Besides, the dogs would not be able to see me amongst so many sheep.” “No,” said Tommy Smith. “But could not they still follow you by your scent?” Y HE WOULD HELP YOU SAID THE HARE FOR HE WOULD REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY AND HE WOULD FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BUT HE WOULD NOT FEEL SORRY FOR ME WHO AM ONLY A LITTLE HARE HE WAS NEVER THAT YOU KNOW HE WOULD THROW HIS STICK AT ME AS YOU DID AND THEN HE WOULD DO ALL HE COULD TO HELP THE DOGS TO CATCH ME NO IT IS NOT THE SHEPHERD THAT I SHOULD ASK TO HELP ME BUT THE SHEEP THEY ARE SO GENTLE AND WHEN I CAME TO THEM I SHOULD RUN RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THEM AND THEN THE DOGS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ME BUT WOULD NOT THE DOGS FOLLOW YOU IN AMONGST THE SHEEP AND CATCH YOU THERE SAID TOMMY SMITH NO SAID THE HARE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FOR THE FLOCK WOULD KEEP TOGETHER SO THAT THE DOGS COULD ONLY RUN AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF IT BUT I SHOULD KEEP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AND WHEREVER THE SHEEP WENT I SHOULD GO WITH THEM I COULD RUN BETWEEN THEIR FEET YOU KNOW BESIDES THE DOGS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE ME AMONG SO MANY SHEEP NO SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT COULD NOT THEY STILL FOLLOW YOU BY SCENT
