The Hare and the Snail
A snail watched a hare
Run through the meadow.
“If I could get to him
I could talk to the fellow.”
It took the snail forever
To get anywhere near him
For the hare was so fast
It was hard to keep up with him.
It was only by luck
The snail got a chance to chat
For the hare had decided to rest
From going this way and that.
“I want to be as fast as you,” said snail
“So I can run to and fro.
Can you show me how to run fast
So I can stop traveling so slow?”
The hare shook his head.
“You can’t run fast like me.
I have long legs
But you don’t, you see.”
“Oh,” said the snail.
“That’s not fair.”
“That’s how life is sometimes,”
Said the hare.
At that moment,
A barking dog drew near.
The snail hid in his shell.
“I’ll be safe in here.”
The hare huffed.
“That’s not fair,
I have to run to get away
While you just sit in there?”
“That’s how life is sometimes,”
Said the hiding snail.
“True, true,” said the hare
And he quickly turned tail.
