  2. 1- The hound gave up chasing the hare, because the hare was running for saving her life. So, the hare used her smaller body as opportunity to run faster than the hound.
    2- The hound could have been succeeded in catching the hare, if the hare had not feared and desperate.
    3- I think that we are so motivated to do something, when we love it. We become tireless, when we love to do something. Our passion gives us more fuel to put towards success. Therefore, we work hard to achieve our goals and we enjoy our efforts.
