The Hare Who Got Married

A young hare seemed unusually happy so the fox asked him why.

'I'm married,' replied the hare.

'Congratulations! What good luck,' said the fox.

'Not really good luck: she is old and as ugly as a witch!'

'Oh what bad luck!' cried the fox.

'Not really bad luck: for she gave me a beautiful house as a gift....'

'What luck!'

'Not really luck,' the hare went on, 'the house has burnt down!'

'What bad luck!' said the fox.

'Not really bad luck, for my old and ugly wife was inside at the time!'
