But, when he was told about the hare, which was taking the milk from the cows, he consented to lend the dog. The dog was taken near the mountain. But the dog was too young and the hare left him far behind. He did not send the dog home as he hoped the hare would come again. He got ready and set out on his horse, and put the dog in front.
