Lafontaine Lievre Grenouilles

tale:lafontaine_lievre_grenouilles

(Le Lièvre et les Grenouilles) A hare, brooding on his own timid life, despairs that no creature is more fearful than he — until, walking to the pond, he sees the frogs leap away in greater terror of him, and takes heart that there is always someone more afraid. Moral: however timid you are, you may yet be someone's terror. — Jean de La Fontaine
