      The Sparrow and the Hare


There was a Hare who pounced upon by an eagle who sobbed very much and uttered cries like a child.

 A Sparrow appeared in front of her and said, "Where now is your remarkable swiftness of foot? Why were your feet so slow?"

While the Sparrow was thus speaking, a hawk suddenly caught 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."
