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."
