Aesop's Fables: Townsend (1867)155. The Hare and the Hound (Perry 331) A HOUND started a Hare from his lair, but after a long run, gave up the chase. A goat-herd seeing him stop, mocked him, saying 'The little one is the best runner of the two.' The Hound replied, 'You do not see the difference between us: I was only running for a dinner, but he for his life.'
George Fyler Townsend's translation of the fables, first published in 1867, is in the public domain and can be found at many websites, including Project Gutenberg. Illustrations come from: Aesop's Fables, by George Fyler Townsend, with illustrations by Harrison Weir, 1867, at Google Books. |
