                                                                                      The Hare and the Mare























                    "I don't easily scare," said the hare, "except in a snare."




                    The mare replied, "Hare, I wouldn't ever purposefully scare !  It's

                    just that my sight is impaired, giving the false im•pres•sion that I stare."





                    "Oh, of this I  wasn't aware !” com• ment•ed the hare.  "Please

                    excuse my angry glare, do let our friendship repair!”





                    "Sure thing!" said the mare.  "And for showing me you care, I offer


                    you a ride on my back bare, for which there shan't be any fare."
