In a peaceful forest,
filled with tall trees and soft sunlight,
lived a graceful deer.
He was known for his speed
and his alert mind.
Every sound mattered to him.
Every movement was noticed.
One morning,
while running freely through the forest,
the deer failed to sense danger.
A hidden net lay across the path.
In the next moment,
his legs were tangled.
The deer struggled.
The more he tried to escape,
the tighter the net became.
Fear filled his heart.
Just then,
a crow landed on a nearby branch.
The crow was wise
and a true friend.
“What happened?”
the crow asked calmly.
“I am trapped,”
the deer replied.
“The hunter will come soon.”
The crow thought for a moment
and then said,
“Do not panic.
Lie still and pretend to be dead.”
The deer hesitated.
“But what if the hunter—”
“Trust me,”
the crow said firmly.
Taking a deep breath,
the deer lay motionless.
His eyes closed.
His body relaxed.
Soon,
heavy footsteps approached.
The hunter arrived
and saw the deer lying still.
He touched the deer lightly
and laughed.
“This deer is already dead,”
he said.
Without checking carefully,
the hunter cut the net
and lifted the deer onto his shoulders.
As the hunter walked through the forest,
the crow followed quietly from above.
At the right moment,
the crow swooped down
and pecked the hunter’s eyes.
The hunter screamed in pain
and dropped the deer.
That instant,
the deer jumped up
and ran with all his strength.
Within seconds,
he disappeared deep into the forest.
The hunter could do nothing.
That evening,
the deer met the crow near the river.
“You saved my life,”
the deer said gratefully.
The crow smiled.
“Intelligence and friendship,”
he replied,
“are stronger than fear.”
From that day on,
the deer became even more careful
and never forgot
that calm thinking can defeat danger.
🌟 MORAL OF THE STORY
In difficult situations,
intelligence and true friendship
can save lives.
Never panic—think calmly.
