"You don't know what it is," said the hare. "That odious little animal follows me about, and never leaves off. You see, wherever I go I leave a smell behind me." "Do you?" said Tommy Smith. "That seems very funny. Why, I am close to you, and I don't smell anything." YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS SAID THE HARE THAT ODIOUS LITTLE ANIMAL FOLLOWS ME ABOUT AND NEVER LEAVES OFF YOU SEE WHEREVER I GO I LEAVE A SMELL BEHIND DO YOU SAID TOMMY SMITH THAT SEEMS VERY FUNNY WHY I AM CLOSE TO YOU AND I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING
r he has the chance. He is very cunning, and, as he knows he cannot run fast enough to catch me, he tries all sorts of ways to pounce upon me when I am not expecting it. Sometimes he will wait by a hole in the hedge that he has seen me go through, and when I come to it again, he springs out and seizes me with his teeth and kills me, for he is much stronger than I am. Then sometimes one fox will chase me past a place where another fox is hiding, and then the fox that was hiding jumps out at me, and they both eat me together.” “How wicked!” said Tommy Smith. “Is it not?” said the hare. “And then there is that horrid little creature the weasel. He follows me about till he catches me, and then he bites me in the throat, so that I bleed to death.” “That _is_ horrid of him,” said Tommy Smith. “But there is one thing which I cannot understand. The weasel does not go so very fast, and you can run faster than a horse. I am sure that if you were to run away, he would never be able to catch you.” HE FOX WHO IS ALWAYS READY TO KILL AND EAT ME WHENEVER HE HAS THE CHANCE HE IS VERY CUNN AND HE KNOWS HE CANNOT RUN FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH ME HE TRIES ALL SORTS OF WAYS TO POUNCE UPON ME WHEN I AM NOT EXPECTING IT SOMETIMES HE WILL WAIT BY A HOLE IN THE HEDGE THAT HE HAS SEEN ME GO THROUGH AND WHEN I COME TO IT AGAIN HE SPRINGS OUT AND SEIZES ME WITH HIS TEETH AND KILLS ME FOR HE IS MUCH STRONGER THAN I AM THEN SOMETIMES ONE FOX WILL CHASE ME PAST A PLACE WHERE ANOTHER FOX IS HIDING AND THEN THE FOX THAT WAS HIDING JUMPS OUT AND THEY BOTH EAT ME TOGETHER HOW WICKED SAID TOMMY SMITH IS IT NOT SAID THE HARE AND THEN THERE IS THE HORRID LITTLE CREATURE THE WEASEL HE FOLLOWS ME ABOUT TILL HE CATCHES ME AND THEN HE BITES ME IN THE THROAT SO THAT I BLEED TO DEATH OH THAT IS HORRID OF HIM SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT THERE IS ONE THING WHICH I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE WEASEL DOES NOT GO VERY FAST AND YOU CAN RUN FASTER THAN A HORSE I AM SURE THAT IF YOU WERE TO RUN AWAY HE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO CATCH YOU
