Having Many Friends Means No Good Friends

 A hare heard the hounds coming to catch her. So, the hare went to the horse for help. The horse said, 'I have to do some work for my master.' The hare asked the bull and he replied, 'I have a meeting with a friend.' The lamb said, 'I can't help you because hounds eat lambs also.' Finally, the hare asked the calf for help. The calf said, 'How can I help you when the others cannot help you?' The hounds had come very close. The hare quickly ran and saved herself.
