Mother hare's three children were almost a month old. They lived with their mother and father in a deep and narrow hole. "Children," said mother hare, "Father and I had a talk. "It is time for you to leave the nest and to be on your own. Listen carefully to what father has to say."
Father hare said, "When you leave, build a rest like ours. Dig yourself a run that is deep and narrow like ours. A deep hole with twists and turns will keep you safe from enemies."
