To avoid persecution by the Nazis for "feeble-mindedness," as is described in a particularly famous scene.
Here is the sentence that came to my mind as I watched this scene again recently: "The hunter chased the hare through the field." The sentence used in the film as an example is rather different -- the hunter shoots the hare.
More poetic examples?
"A hare, chased by a hunter, hides in the field."
Construct your own sentence?
Just watching today I thought he meant hair. I went philosophical saying "The Hunter ran his hand/fingers through his hair while walking in the field. I run my fingers through my hair A LOT. I never consider Hares, but it does make more sense. Hearing the sentence constructed by the Prosecutor, I laughed. But my sentence would be:
The hunter shot the hare in the field. I like my sentence better.
Your second life is never like your first. Sometimes it's even better
First - I thought they were saying hair too, but my husband got it right away. Then I became paranoid that I would be found feebleminded on a technicality, if they weren't in order. Therefore my sentence was, The hare was shot by the hunter in the field.
shareI only hear "hair", my own obsession. It might be that I don't hunt also.....
Your second life is never like your first. Sometimes it's even better
The hare and the hunter played together in the field.
shareI was just looking to start this same thread. Years late I see.
Here's my sentence…
The green field in the early morning sun was the site of a deadly confrontation between the hunter and the hare.
"Timmie, if you don't bring that rocketship back this instant, you'll get the spanking of your life!"
The hair in the field was left by the hunter.
shareThe hunter with hair had a field day and those without hair, did not.
shareMr.- I don't know if you are still posting, but I have to admit I stupidly immediately thought of hair instead of hare. Therefore my very first sentence was, "The hair of the hunter got wet in the rainy field". Then that sounded too bizarre, and my second thought was the same as Widmark, or similar anyway, "The hare was shot by the hunter in the field" It's just that when I hear the word hair/hare, most of the time I am using it as hair, but of course the context didn't fit. Scary, because if I blurted out my first thought, I might have flunked.
shareWhile walking in the field and gnawing on a carrot, the Hare asked "What's up Doc?" and the Hunter replied "Be vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbit!"
The hare purchased an AR-15 at the gun show and forgot the ammo, so when he tried to shoot a stumbling-drunk hunter he emitted a high pitch yelp of fear, at which time the hunter was startled and shot himself in the foot, after-which he stumbled and fell to the ground, cracking his head open on a sharp rock, where he was found several days later by a boy who was looking for grasshoppers to scare his sister with, and subsequently he was buried in a field.
