I
The Deer
and
His Image
A deer told
himself every day, “ I am the most handsome deer in the forest.
My large chest is a symbol of my power. And my beautiful horns impress other
animals.”
But he did not like his legs and hooves*. “ My legs are narrow, and my hooves
are ugly. They do not satisfy me.”
One day, the deer saw a big dog. The deer made some noise and disturbed
the dog. The dog woke up and chased him. The deer felt terror. He screamed. He
did not want to be a victim, so he ran into the forest. His strong legs helped him
run fast. His pale brown hooves were hard, so they were not sensitive to rough
rocks. However, his horns got caught in branches, slowing him down. His large
chest could not fit between thick trees.
The deer estimated that he ran for an hour. He felt like he was running a
marathon. In the end, the deer escaped the threat of the dog. He sat in the
shade of a tree. “That was almost a disaster! I almost did not escape because
of my chest and horns. My legs and hooves saved me.” As a consequence, the
deer learned to honor his fast legs and have confidence in his strong hooves.
“ Pretty things only supplement important things,” he thought.
