The Foolish Stag

                     

It is said that outward appearances are often deceptive.What appears useful and good may prove harmful and useless.Therefore,we should not be misled by the appearance of things and people. That is why it is said"all that glitters is not gold"The following story proves the truth of the this saying :

Once a stag was very thirsty.He went to a nearby stream.The water in the stream was very cold and clear.While drinking water, the stag saw his reflection in the water.He was very happy to see his beautiful antlers and felt very proud of them.When he saw his lean and thin legs,he felt very sorry.He hated his ugly legs.He heaved a sigh and said

 "It is unfortunate to have such beautiful antlers with so ungly legs"

He cursed his legs.All of sudden,he heared the hunter's horse and howls of hounds.He saw a pack of hounds coming toward him.The stag was filled with fear.He wanted to save his life at every cost.He ran very fast to the forest to save his life.His thin and ugly legs were of great help to him.They carried him far away from the hounds

He reached in the dense part of the forest. There were thick bushes growing there.unfortunately,his beautiful antlers were caught up in a long bush.He tried his best to get free but could not.Meanwhile the hounds reached there.His beautiful antlers of which he was so proud brought about his death.The hounds fell upon and tore him into pieces
Moral:

1. All that glitters is not gold
