HARE THE HERO (1)

HARE THE HERO (1)

Once upon a time, there was a little hare who was fraid of everything.

He spent most of his time trembling.
The sound of wind, even a leaf falling, could make him jump.

And being a hare, of course, when he jumped, he jumped.

He was laughed at by all the other hares in the forest. 
They were afraid of the wolf, and the fox, and the bear, as any sensible animal would be.

as any sensible animal would be：
分別のある動物であれば誰もがそうであるように

But they weren't afaid of the snow falling, or a bird suddenly taking off from the branch of a tree, as he was.

They called him, Trember.

And then one day, the little hare said to himelf,
" Now look here, you're not a little hare any longer ! In fact, you'e a big hare ! In fact, you're one of the biggest hares in the forest. In facy, it's time you stopped trembling !"

Another hare who happened to be going by asked, " Why are you talking to yourself, Trembler ? "

" Don't you call me Trembler ! " said the little hare who'd become a big hare.

" I'm tired of being frightened !  I'm not going to be frightened any more, by anything ! I've done with trembling !" 

And he went through the forest telling all the hares the same story.
