THE HARE WHO COULDN'T WAIT.

"There goes a hare," said Johnny to Max, "Come, let us catch him: here are his tracks!" But, while they were talking so wisely about it, And Johnny was saying "We'll have him; don't doubt it," Behind them the hare, with a jump and a spring, Ran swift as a swallow could dart on the wing; And Max and Johnny looked round too late, While his speed said, "Excuse me, but I can't wait."
