Adapted by Jonquil Antony
Produced by Leslie Stokes

'O the gallant Fisher's life,
It is the best of any;
'Tis full of pleasure, void ot strife,
And 'tis beloved of many;
Other joys
Are but toys; Only this
Lawful is;
For our skill Breeds no ill,
But content and pleasure.'

Ⓓ Round the Countryside
Rabbits and Hares
C. C. GADDUM
Mr. Gaddum will talk about two common British animals, the rabbit and the hare. Although they are closely related, their habits and characteristics are quite distinct. For instance, the hare likes solitude, while the rabbit is very sociable. Mr. Gaddum will deal with their family life, and will explain why it is that in the face of so much persecution they still manage to survive in the English countryside.
