One day the hare saw a buffalo breaking down a tree with its horns in order to stock up on firewood.
“What’s worse about me?” thought the hare. “I can do that too.”
He ran away until he hit his forehead on a tree trunk. he hit himself so hard that his head sank into his shoulders.
The hare screamed in a voice that was not his own. The buffalo heard him. He looks - what is it? A headless hare is jumping! He came closer and saw that the hare's head had sunk into his shoulders. He grabbed the hare by the ears and pulled. The hare's head is back in place, only the ears are now long.
The hare ran home. And he vowed not to imitate the buffalo again. What a horned man can do, a hornless man cannot do!
