HARE THE HERO (完)

HARE THE HERO (完)

Well, noーit certainly wasn't right to call him Trembler, any more.

Hare the Hero, that was his name !

" Did you see how he scared the life out of the wolf ! " they asked one another.

"He went for him without thinking twice about it !"

And some said they'd seen Hare the Hero's teeth closing on the wolf's tail.

But where was Hare the Hero ?

Had he pursued the wolf ?

Might he even now be making a meal of him ?

They went searching through the forest.

And at last they found him, lying panting under the biggest
and thickest bush of all.

" Hare the Hero ! " they cried.
" Oh, there you are, Hare the Hero !
And we thought you were boasting !
Oh, Hare the Hero, how brave you are ! "

" Brave ? " said the hare.
He stopped trembling and came out from under the bush.

"Brave ? Oh, why, yes, of course.
You are right !  I am brave ! "

And he beat with his feet on the ground as if it had been a drum.

" And you're all. . .tremblers ! " he cried.

And from that time on, even he believed that he was the bravest hare alive.
