Who carrieth out the word
the tale to be retold.
Hare carrieth out the word,
the tale to be retold!

The hare was believed to be a lucky and magically powerful creature. It was believed that they granted you special protection against the evil eye since baby hares are born with their eyes open. Hare's foot has been a lucky charm in many cultures, also among ancient Finns. The hare's power was believed to be stored in its hind legs since while running the hind legs touched the ground first.
