The Deer and the Fox (4)

The Deer and the Fox (4)

One day, the owner of the field spread a net to trap the deer.

When deer entered the field to eat the grains, his legs got caught in the net.

He was frightened and nervous.

He looked at the fox who was hiding himself behind a tree.

" Friend, " pleaded the deer, " please cut this net with your sharp teeth so that both of us can escape safely. "

The fox said, " Well, I am fasting today. The knots of the net are made from the muscles of an animal. So how i can put them in my mouth ? Tomorrow morning, I will cut the net and set you free. Do not misunderstand me. "

The fox then thought, " I hope the owner of the field comes here soon and kills the deer. I can then feast on his tasty flesh. "

Meanwhile, the crow was waiting for the deer to return.

" Why hasn't the deer come back yet ? " he thought.

Serching for the deer, the crow came to the field.
He was shocked to see the deer caught in the net.



" Oh ! " exclaimed the crow.
" how did this happen to you ? "

The deer said, " This is the result of not heeding your advice. "
