And so it happened that a little while
after the lion and the lamb had begun
their wild antics in the meadow they
were gratified to see the Mad March
Hare advancing cautiously toward them.
Always before he mad made himself Of
fensive. not to say forbidding, by rushing
at them in most wild fashion. But
on this occasion he came creeping gently
forward. holding his ears. which formerly
had been SO aggressive, back against his
neck. And there was anything but bold
ness or audacity in his movements

A few seconds later the Mad l,,arch

;"If it pleases you to do so,'' said
Master White Lamb. Il guess my bold

Lion. Then he laughed in his sleeve, as
the saying goes. Come on. Mad March

We're in for fr1 today
So saying, Mr.. Lion gave the Mad

SO much pleasure in his jolly company
that they had forgotten to fear him,
and no longer wished to be rid Of him.
In fact they wished very much to make
him to join them in their cave on the
mountain side for supper, which the
Mad March Hare readily accepted And
as the three sat around the supper table
Master White Lamb and Mr. Lion told
the Mad March Hare of their plan to De
rid of him and of their final decision to
ask him to be one of them, "fOr" de-
