OT: And there is a hare in Watership Down book. Holy's group meet one, when they travel to Efrafa. They ask him about Efrafa and how to get there. This happens right before they are met by the patrol.

OT: I've read Watership Down cover-to-cover twice, I don't recall them meeting a hare. Maybe you have a different version than I do? I have this version

There is no mention of a hare in this book or in Tales from WSD. I have the version that has Flyairth and her kittens on the cover.

EDIT: Okay, I looked through the 3 cows chapter, saw the hare, and the female hare in Hyzenthlay in action. Didn't notice those the first time I read it. Didn't see anything about a hare in the first book though.

OT: Here is the quote from the book:

"I don't think we need tell you everything about the journey. It came on to rain just after the morning feed and there was a nasty, cold wind with it, so we stayed where we were until after ni-Frith. It brightened up then and we went on. The going wasn't very nice because of the wet, but by early evening I reckoned we ought to be near the place.

I was looking round when a hare came through the grass and I asked him whether he knew of a big warren close by.

"'Efrafa?' he asked. 'Are you going to Efrafa?'*

"'If that's what it's called,' I answered.

"'Do you know it?'

"'No,' I said, 'we don't. We want to know where it is.'

"'Well,' he said, 'my advice to you is to run, and quickly.'

"I was just wondering what to make of that, when suddenly three big rabbits came over the bank, just the way I did that night when I came to arrest you, Bigwig: and one of them said, 'Can I see your marks?'



This text above is from the story that Holy was telling about his journey to Efrafa.
