DEER’S – LEG AND A HORN

        DEER’S – LEG AND A HORN


 

   In a forest a deer lived happily. The wild animals were away from the place where it lived. So It lived very peacefully.

 

One day, It went to the river to drink water. While drinking, It saw its full image in the water.  It was very proud to see its beautiful branched  horns.  With happiness and pride its eyes fell on its legs. Immediately it got disgusted as its legs were very lean. It thought in its mind that how beautiful I would be if I had my legs too beautiful like my horns. Thinking so, It stood beside the river.

 

By that time, It heard a sound that somebody  is nearing it. Immediately, Its eyes searched who was that. It saw a hunter, a little distance far away from the pond. Meantime the hunter was ready  to leave the arrow from its bow towards the deer.

 

To save its life, the deer at once ran away from that place. After a few distance it found itself safe and stood there. By  that time, It thought, I disgusted my legs. But it save my life. Thinking so, It returned and saw the hunter was following it. Immediately, Its legs started to run. By that time, Its horn was caught in between the branches of the tree. It tried to take its horn very urgently. Unfortunately, the hunter came near and shot his arrow into the deer’s body.

 

Its soul while leaving the body, at that movement it thought,  “ I disgusted my legs, It saved my life. I loved and took pride of my horn, it took my life.”
