The Hares and the frogs

The Hares, persecuted by the other beasts and afraid even
of their own shadows, had a council to decide what to do.
The conclusion they came to was to die rather than live on
with this shame. So, they went to a pond, determined to
drown themselves. But when they were just about to
jump, some Frogs who had been sitting on a water lily,
startled by the noise they made, rushed to the deep water
for safety. "Look," cried a Hare, "there are creatures who
are even afraid of us, so things are not so bad, after all. We
don't need to die any more."
