Long ago while a man was cutting a field of oats with a hook a hare arose. He threw the hook at the hare and stuck it in the hare's back. The hare ran around the field cutting the oats with the hook as he did so. The man followed the hare until it had all the field of oats cut down - that was how people thought of a mowing machine.
