  1. Hare Chases Hound

    Share Share Post
    A hound went after a hare inside the quarry road which leads up to Kimeena the hound chased a hare for a many a turn. After a while the hare turned and chased the hound. When the man man went home he whistled for the hound. He whistled again and again and the hound did not come. After a long time the hound came back half dead and it took him a long time to recover from the terrible chase which the hare had given to him.
