The Hares and the Frogs

The Hares were so persecuted by the other beasts, they did not know where to go.

As soon as they saw a single animal approach them, off they used to run.

One day they saw a troop of wild Horses stampeding about, and in quite a panic all the Hares scuttled off to a lake near by, determined to drown themselves rather than live in such a continual state of fear.


But just as they got near the bank of the lake, a troop of Frogs, frightened in their turn by the approach of the Hares scuttled off, and jumped into the water.

"Truly," said one of the Hares, "things are not so bad as they seem: "There is always someone worse off than yourself."

Although it is a hard time for to understand the core moral of the story's meaning, I am going to try to give a comment as much as I can. The hares are characters who were scared all the time. However, they learn something through this scaring because they see on their own eyes when they are frightened by a troop of wild horses, a troop of frog is frightened by them, too. Therefore, the hares realize that only the first look cannot be judged to be true. "Think before jumping." Mr. Yorn Saren (406)
