In the jungle, there lived a beautiful deer. One day, the deer was thirsty, found a pond and drank as much as he could. The pool water is as clear as a mirror. The deer suddenly found its own shadow reflected in the water: "Is this me?" The deer swings its body, and the reflection in the water swings with it. He never noticed how beautiful he was! He left unhurriedly, admiring his beauty by the pool: "Ah! How symmetrical my body is, and how delicate and chic my horns are, like two beautiful corals. "
A lion is quietly approaching himself, and the deer dare not hesitate and spread its long legs and ran away. Powerful long legs jumped among the bushes, and in a short time, the fierce lion was left behind. Just when the lion was discouraged and didn't want to chase, the antlers were caught in the branches. The lion quickly seized the opportunity and pounced on it. On the verge of catching up, the deer pulled hard with all its strength, trying to free its two horns from the branches, and then ran desperately forward. This time, the lion never caught up.
The deer ran to a stream, stopped and gasped for breath. He sighed and said, "Two beautiful horns almost killed me, but four ugly legs let me escape."
