2. The Hare Outruns a Hound
There once was a hound who discovered a hare
In the woods on the top of a
knoll,
He barked in delight and gave chase till the night
But the hare disappeared down a
hole.
What a laugh!
mocked a shepherd,
Can't you be more quick
Hunting food for your puppies
and wife?
Answered Hound:
Friend, it's one thing to run for your lunch,
-- Another to run for your life!
MORAL: Your needs often decide your performance.
from the book Praying Your Story and the forthcoming book Aesop's Best: 80 Fables in Verse by William Cleary
