The Sparrow And The Hare
Aesop Fable: The Sparrow And The Hare
A hare pounced upon by an eagle sobbed very much and
uttered cries like a child. A Sparrow upbraided her and said,
"Where now is thy remarkable swiftness of foot? Why were
your feet so slow?" While the Sparrow was thus speaking, a
hawk suddenly seized him and killed him.
The Hare was
comforted in her death, and expiring said, "Ah! you who so
lately, when you supposed yourself safe, exulted over my
calamity, have now reason to deplore a similar misfortune."
