A Hare lived in a forest and was very popular with the other animals, who claimed to be her friends. One day she heard some hounds approaching her and she hoped to escape them with the aid of her friends. So, she went to the horse and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back. But he declined, stating that he had important work to do for his master. "He felt sure," he said, "that all her other friends would come to her assistance." She then pleaded to the bull with hope that he would repel the hounds with his horns. The bull replied, "I am very sorry, but I have an appointment with a lady. But, I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want." The goat, however, feared that his back might do her some harm if she sat on it. The hare felt sure the ram was the proper friend to ask for help. So, she went to the ram and told him her situation. The ram replied, "Another time my dear friend. I would not like to interfere on this occasion as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares." As a last hope, the Hare then asked the calf, who regretted that he was unable to help her. He did not want to take the responsibility upon himself like the other animals who had refused the task. By this time the hounds were quite near, and the Hare took to her heels and luckily escaped.

Moral of the story:
He that has many friends, has no friends.

Principal was born in Fukuoka, Japan, the elder daughter of Ree Veal and Victor R. Principal. She stated in a 2007 interview with the official Dallas website that she was born in 1950, not earlier as some sources indicate. She stated that she "...felt that was the only way to clear this up once and for all. My name is my real name; my age is my real age. Someone on the internet, years ago, printed a different age than I am and I’m in the process legally of clearing that up because I have never lied about my age." She claims to have been the first American baby born in Japan after World War II.

Her paternal grandparents were immigrants from Italy and her mother was born in Georgia, USA and is of English descent. Her father was a sergeant in the Air Force; thus she moved often living in London, Florida, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, and Georgia, among other places. She attended 17 different schools, including the Royal Academy of Ballet, while in England.

She acted in a commercial when she was five, and began modeling in high school. She enrolled at Miami-Dade Community College intending to study medicine, but then she enrolled in but didn’t complete chiropractic college. She continued modeling winning the Miss Miami title in 1969, but serious injuries that she sustained in a car crash forced her to refocus her energy on acting.

A friend of mine named Larry once told me, around the time of Bill Clinton's 2nd inauguration, "You know, President Clinton and I are buddies."
    I said, "Sure you are."
    He said, "No, really! Just turn on your TV tonight to the Inaugural Ball. You'll see me."
    Sure enough, I turned on the TV that night, and there was Larry, talking to President Clinton with his arm around the guy.

This was getting spooky. Larry seemed to know everyone! I tested Larry with a few more people. We were back in the Bay Area. Larry was telling me he was buddy-buddy with Jerry Brown. We went to a Press Conference at Oakland City Hall, and just before Brown started answering questions, he said "I see my friend Larry out there."

Same kind of thing happened when we went to Bob Dylan's house and rang the bell. Bob answered the door, said "Larry!" gave my friend a big hug, and invited us in for drinks.

I was becoming a believer, but then one day we were having another conversation and Larry said something about "my friend the Pope."
    I said, "You can't know him, too!"
    Larry said, "Wanna bet?"
    Larry happens to be very well off, so he flew the both of us to Rome. We took a cab to St. Peter’s Square. We were standing in the big crowd below the balcony of the Pope's apartment. Larry said, "Excuse me for a little while" and disappeared into the crowd.
    A little while after that, John Paul appeared on the balcony and started blessing people. And who should be up there beside him but...you guessed it!
    I was utterly amazed! I nudged a fellow standing next to me, pointed to the balcony, and said, "Look!"
    The guy shaded his eyes with his palm, peered up at the balcony, turned back to me, and said, "Who's that guy up there with Larry?"
