  1. (continued from previous page)
    threw the ball of wax at the hare, and it stuck in the middle of the hare's forehead.
    The hare jumped out of the furze-bush, ran down the field, and ran out in a gap
    He met another hare and their two foreheads were stuck together with the ball of wax. The man went down the field and took the two hares and put them into the car. He let the eel back into the water, and he yoked his horse under the car again and drove home.
