The Fawn And His Mother

The Fawn And His Mother

A YOUNG Fawn once said to his mother, "You are larger than a dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and you have, too, your horns as a defence. Why, then, O mother! are you always in such a terrible fright of the hounds?". She smiled, and said: I know full well, my son, that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but yet when I hear only the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as I can."
