In this short story, a group of hares and frogs engage in a debate about the nature of time. The hares argue that time is a linear concept, while the frogs believe it is cyclical. As they continue their discussion, the hares begin to disappear one by one, until only the frogs are left. The story ends with the frogs realizing that time has passed and they are now alone.
