Why does the Fox chase the Rabbit?

Master of Lies,

King of Untruth,

the Fox told

the Rabbit

the following ruse:

“If you want to run,

if you want to hide,

you’d better run fast,

you’d better hide high.

For I’ll follow close,

and then I’ll catch you;

there’s nothing to stop me

since that’s what I do”.

So the Rabbit started,

started running fast.

As fast as the wind,

as fast as the night.

He didn’t get far.

The Fox soon

caught up

and, with teeth smiling,

“You see? I was right”

he said before biting.
