The Deer and the Fox (5 完)

" And where is that cunning fox ? " asked the crow.

" There... " said the deer pointing to the tree behind which the fox was hiding.
" He is hiding himself there and waiting to feast on my flesh. "

Just then the crow saw the owner of the field coming there with a stick in his hand.

The crow said to the deer, " Friend, lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead. As soon as you hear my cawing, get up and start running fast. "

Heeding the crow's advice, the deer lay himself down, pretending to be dead.

When the owner of the field saw the lifeless deer, he mumbled, " Oh no ! Poor animal. It is dead. "

He then freed the deer from the net and began to fold the net.

" Caw...  Caw... " The crow started cawing loudly.

At once the deer leaped up and started running fast.

The owner of the field was astonished.
He threw his stick at the escaping deer.



But the stick hit the fox instead.
It hit him so hard on the head that he fell down with a thud and died instantly.
