Once upon a time, in the wood, there lived Hare who feared of everything.
He feared a wolf, feared a fox, feared an eagle owl.
And even the autumn bush frightened him when rustled with falling leaves.
Hare came to the Black Whirlpool and said:
"Black Whirlpool. I will rush in you and I will drown. I don't want are afraid more"
"Don't hurry up Hare! It never late. It's better, go and never fear."
"How it?"
"What are you afraid, if you already came to me to drown? Go and don't fear."

Hare went on the road, and met Wolf.
"Here whom I will eat now!" Wolf was delighted.
But Hare goes to itself, whistles, doesn't notice Wolf.
"Hare! Why you don't fear me? Why you don't run, don't shiver? You always feared me!"
"Why I should are afraid of you? I don't understand you Wolf."
"As Hare! You always were afraid of me. Why now you don't run, don't shiver?"
"I was at the Black Whirlpool. Why I to be afraid of you, gray?"
Wolf was surprised, put the tail between the legs, reflected.

Hare went further on the road and met Fox.
"A-a-a!" Fox smiled. "Hare ragout steps! Go here, big-eared, I will eat you."
But Hare passed and even didn't turn the head, as if there's no fox.
"Hare! Why you don't fear of me? Why you don't run, don't shiver?"
"I was at the Black Whirlpool. Why I should are afraid of you, red."
Fox was surprised, put the tail between the legs, reflected.

Evening came.
Hare sits on stub in the middle of a glade.
Important Eagle owl in fur boots came on foot to him and sat down nearby. Very close.
"You sit" Eagle owl asked.
"I sit" Hare said.
"Are you not afraid to sit?"
"Would be afraid then didn't sit."
"What impudent hare."
"Hare! Why you don't fear of me? Why you don't run, don't shiver?
And what such important and brave became by the night?"
"Don't shout Owl!
I was at the Black Whirlpool. I wasn't afraid a wolf, didn't look at a fox.
And about you, an old bird, I don't want to think."
Eagle owl sits and thinks. He, an old Eagle owl, can't understand what happens in the wood and what to do, what to say to Hare.
"Listen Hare! Leave our wood. Looking at you, all hares become as you."

The autumn came. Leaves fall...
Hare sits under a bush, shivers and thinks:
"I don't fear a wolf, fox - not at all, and even of an old Eagle owl - I don't fear. But when leaves fall when they rustle, it's terrible to me."
Hare came to Black Whirlpool and asked:
"Why it's terrible to me? After all I fear neither a wolf, nor a fox, nor an eagle owl. But when leaves fall and rustle, I am afraid."
"I will explain to you everything."
"Indeed?"
"Listen".
"It's not leaves fall. This is time rustles, and we listen, All are afraid."

Snow dropped out.
The wood turned white.
Hare runs on snow and is afraid of nobody.
Hare is afraid of nobody.
