Watership Down Page #6

---

I hope I have.

And I told you that I would kill you myself.

There's no white bird here, Bigwig.

Why throw your life away?

Hraka, sir.

Come out.

My chief's told me to defend this run.

Your chief?

Run! Run for your lives!

Come back! Come back, you fools!

Come back!

Come back and fight!

Dogs aren't dangerous!

General Woundwort's body

was never found.

It could be that he still lives his fierce life

somewhere else.

But from that day on,

mother rabbits would tell their kittens...

that if they did not do as they were told...

the General would get them.

Such was Woundwort's monument.

Perhaps it would not have displeased him.

El-ahrairah knew, then,

that Frith was his friend.

Every evening,

when Frith has done his day's work...

And lies calm and easy in the red sky...

El-ahrairah and his children,

and his children's children...

Come out of their holes

and feed and play in his sight.

For they are his friends,

and he has promised...

Hazel.

That they can never be destroyed.

Hazel.

- You know me, don't you?

- I don't.

Yes, my Lord.

I know you.

I've come to ask

if you would like to join my Owsla.

We shall be glad to have you,

and I know you'd like it.

You've been feeling tired, haven't you?

If you're ready, we might go along now.

You needn't worry about them.

They'll be all right...

and thousands like them.

If you'll come along,

I'll show you what I mean.

"All the world will be your enemy,

Prince with a Thousand Enemies.

"Whenever they catch you,

they will kill you.

"But first, they must catch you...

"digger, listener, runner.

"Prince with the swift warren.

"Be cunning...

"and your people

will never be destroyed."
