where to go.  As soon as they saw a single animal approach them, off they 

used to run.  One day they saw a troop of wild Horses stampeding about, 

and in quite a panic all the Hares scuttled off to a lake hard by, determined 

to drown themselves rather than live in such a continual state of fear.  But 

just as they got near the bank of the lake, a troop of Frogs, frightened in 

their turn by the approach of the Hares scuttled off, and jumped into the 

water.  "Truly," said one of the Hares, "things are not so bad as they seem:

     "There is always someone worse off than yourself."
