The Stag’s Antlers
A stag admired its reflection in a pool of water one day. «Oh! But my antlers are very handsome,» it thought, «just look at my poor skinny legs, though. They look as if they could hardly bear my weight.» Just then a lion leaped from the bushes at the edge of the water hole, and the frightened stag ran across the open field. He could run much faster than the lion, who was quickly left behind. But when the stag stepped into the forest at the other side of the field, he ran into trouble. His antlers became tangled in some vine hanging from a tree. As the lion was catching up with it, the stag struggled to free itself, and thought: «What a fool am I! As long as I could use my skinny legs, I could outrun that lion. But here I am now, trapped by the antlers I admired so much.»
