(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A HARE pounced¹ upon by an eagle sobbed² very much and uttered
cries like a child. A Sparrow upbraided³ her and said, "Where now
is thy remarkable⁴ swiftness of foot? Why were your feet so slow?"
While the Sparrow was thus speaking, a hawk⁵ suddenly seized him
and killed him. The Hare was comforted in her death, and
expiring said, "Ah! you who so lately, when you supposed yourself
safe, exulted⁶ over my calamity⁷, have now reason to deplore⁸ a
similar misfortune."
