While taking a walk out in the field to steal some of the farmer's turnips, a Hedgehog is met by a Hare stealing some cabbages. The Hare being very boastful and egocentric makes fun of Mr. Hedgehog's legs considering him to be less important. This made the hedgehog furiously angry and drove him to challenge the Hare to a race, betting a gold coin and silken handkerchief. Before the big race the Hedgehog goes home with a plan up his sleeve, he gets his busy housewife to pose as himself and hide behind the hedge at the bottom of the field where the finish line is... The race begins and the Hare takes off, but the Hedgehog doesn't move. The Hare runs faster and faster down the field but when he reaches the bottom of the field, Mrs Hedgehog jumps out ad shouts ""I am here already"".

The Valiant Little Tailor
There was once a tailor about to sit down to his toast and jam, but his food attracted the flies and as soon as they smelled the jam they swarmed down in a cloud. ""Hey! Who invited you, get away, get away!"" shouted the little tailor, but the flies didn't understand a word of English and sat where they were. Not wanting to have anyone play around in his lunch, the tailor pulled up a thick piece of cloth from under the work table and whacked it down on the flies. Underneath he found seven dead flies. Proud of himself the tailor made himself a belt with the words 'Seven at One Blow' and decides to show himself off to the world. On his way the tailor found a chicken stuck in a bush so he helped it out and put it in his pocket thinking it might come in useful. The road the tailor took lead him up a mountain but when he reached the top of it he saw an ugly giant who sat picking his toe nails and taking a look at the world. The trailor walked bravely up to him and asked if he'd like to come f
