There was a hare one time and he bet with a hedgehog that he was the best runner in the world. The hedgehog went away and got a comrade hedgehog, They went into a turnip field. One of them stayed at the top of the field and the other at the bottom. The hare started running. When he went up to the top there was a hedgehog at it. He said to himself that he would have to try it again. When he ran down to the bottom there was one below. So they killed the hare running.
