Story Writing: The Stag and his Horns

The Stag and his Horns

There once lived a proud stag. While wandering within the forest, he discovered a lake. He stopped there to drink water in order to quench his thirst. As he bent down, he saw his own reflection in the water. “How beautiful are my antlers!" he thought, admiring its long curves. He felt proud. When he saw the reflection of his legs, he felt ashamed.

Just then, he heard the barking of a hunter’s dogs. He ran away as fast as he could. His thin legs helped him to escape. He realized that his ugly-looking legs were his real friends.

Soon his beautiful horns (antlers) proved an enemy to him. They got entangled in a bush. He tried his best to release himself. But he could not succeed. The dogs reached there. They killed him.

(Moral: All that glitters is not gold)
