Away it ran again, faster and faster.
Mewanee called to it by making sounds that hares understand, but the little hare did not stop.
MEWANEE DASHED AFTER IT
Again and again he called, but the hare ran on and on.
Mewanee sat down on the ground for a moment to rest.
The little hare ran deep into the forest and was soon lost from sight.
Suddenly Mewanee put his ear to the ground and listened.
Then he jumped up and ran toward his little brother.
