So,she went to the horse and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back.But he refused,stating that he had important work to do for his master."I'm very sure,"he said, "that all her other friends will come to her assistance." She then applied to the bulle(公牛)，and hoped that he would repel(击退)the hounds with his horns.The bull replied,"I'm very sorry,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 ram,he felt sure,was the proper friend to apply to. So she went to the ram and told him the case.The ram replied,"Another time,my dear friend,I do not like to interfere()on the present occasion,as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares." The hare then applied,as a last hope,to the calf(),who regretted that he was unable to help her,as he did not like to take responsibility upon himself,as so many older animals than himself had refused the task.
