A hare

 

is not a rabbit,

although from far

it sometimes

seems to be.

 

Its paws, by which

he hops-ways runs

are stronger and much

longer than the rabbit’s

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But on the other hand,

all hares as well as rabbits

are very fond of carrots.
