The Hungry Lion and The foolish Stag

A beautiful stag was drinking a pool. He noticed his reflection in the water and was admiring
the size and grandeur of his horns. After of a few minutes of this he looks down of his feet and saw
how thin and weak they look. He feel embarrassed. My horns are so wonderful, but I hate my thiny
feet!” he grumbled, and walk away sulkily. Meanwhile, a hungry lion had been following him. The
lion said slowly, “What a delicious lunch you are going to be!”. The stag turn and saw the lion, then
started to run quickly across the plain. His nimble feed gave him the advantage over the lion and he
quickly reached the forest.

“You won’t catch me now!” called the stag to the lion, who was still far away. However,
after entering the forest the stag soon found that his horns had become tangled in the branches of
the apple trees above. “Oh no!” cried the stag, “What a fool I have been! I hated the feet that
would have save me, but boasted about the horns that have made me a lion’s lunch!”. Every day
the lion lies around waiting for a foolish stag like me to come along, and now… Oh dear!”

By this time the lion had approached, walking slowly and smiling broadly. “Mmm! I’ve been
hoping for a meal like this all week! My dear friend the stag with his great big horns ambles into a
forest… et folia! My lunch is served cold!”

“Can’t we just try to get along?” begged the , struggling stag desperately to free his fantastic
horns.
Well, began the lion thoughtfully, ”No, I don’t think so. You see you are a stag and I am a
lion”. Then he ate the stag whole, leaving just the horn. which he kept to hang on the wall of his
lair.
