A hare was very popular with the other animals who all said they were her friends．But one day she heard the hounds（猎犬）getting close and hoped to escape them by the aid of her many friends． So，she went to the horse，and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back．But he refused，because he had important work to do for his master． He felt sure that all her other friends would come to help her．
She then came to the bull，and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns （角）．The bull replied，"I am very sorry，but I have an appointment with a lady；but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want．" The goat，however，feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it．The sheep，he felt sure，was the proper friend to ask for help．
So she went to the sheep and told him the situation．The sheep replied，"Another time，my dear friend． I do
not like to have anything to do with it，as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares．"
The hare then went，as a last hope，to the calf（小牛），who regretted that he was unable to help her，as he did not like to take the responsibility（责任）upon himself，as so many older persons than himself had refused the task．By this time the hounds were quite near，and the hare took to her heels and luckily escaped．

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself. ”
When I was a young boy, I was too shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school!
“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win.”Then my mother and I talked about many difficult topics. At last I chose the topic“Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love and encouragement(鼓励) I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. Those classmates who once looked down on（瞧不起）me now all said “Congratulations!” to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will do a great job. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
