The Wait For The Hare

A farmer was ploughing the fields one day when he saw a hare running wildly. The hare ran into a tree, broke its neck, and died.

The farmer happily reaped without sowing and took the hare home for dinner. Since then, he refused to pick up his hoe again. Instead, he sat beneath the tree and waited patiently for a second hare to come.

But a second hare never came his way. Rather, he became the laughing-stuck of the whole state.

The Clam and The Snipe

A clam was basking in the sun when suddenly a snipe flew down to peck her flesh. The clam immediately closed up her shell, gripping the snipe's beak in between.

"If it doesn't rain today, and it doesn't rain tomorrow," said the snipe. "I shall see a dead clam on the beach."

"If I don't open today, and I don't open up tomorrow," retorted the clam, "I, too, shall see a dead snipe on the beach."

While they were still grappling with each other, a fisherman passed by and netted them both.
