Note 1 — III The Countryman and the Merchant
Marjory Scott Wardrop translation
The hare ran off as fast as it could. It is easy to understand the astonishment of the merchant when the woman came with the hare, bringing all that the man had ordered. When they had eaten, the merchant said: ‘You have cheated me about the cat and the pot, but I forgive you if you let me have the hare.’ The countryman refused at first, but finally agreed to sell the hare for a large sum.1
