THE HARES AND THE FROGS

Timid Hares, from the trumpeting wind,
Fled as swift as the fear in their mind;
Till in fright from their fear,
From the green sedges near,
Leaping Frogs left their terror behind.

OUR OWN ARE NOT THE ONLY TROUBLES


PORCUPINE, SNAKE, & COMPANY

Going shares with the Snakes, Porcupine
Said—“the best of the bargain is mine:”
Nor would he back down,
When the snake would disown
The agreement his quills made them sign.
