167.The Hare and the Hound
A HOUND started a hare from his lair, but after a long run, gave up the chase. A bird 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.” Then the hound caught the bird for dinner.
