Front Page Of Book Cover
Once upon a time, there was a proud swamp deer who loved his magnificent antlers.
They were big and twisted like tree branches.
They were the crown of the deer’s head.
Whenever he saw his reflection in the stream, he admired his antlers.
But one day, he noticed his small and plain hooves.
Compared to his grand antlers, they looked ugly and insignificant.
The deer felt ashamed and thought, “These ugly hooves are a disgrace! I wish these hooves were as beautiful as my antlers.”
A few days later, while the deer was roaming in the forest, a lion started chasing him.
The deer ran as fast as he could, but his antlers got stuck in a tree branch.
The lion was getting closer and closer!
In a moment of desperation, the deer stomped his foot on the ground and pulled with all his strength.
Finally, his antlers were free from the branches.
He quickly ran deep into the woods, far from the lion’s reach.
When he reached a safe place, the deer realized how foolish he had been.
He underestimated the power of his sturdy hooves, which saved his life. He understood that the antlers were just for decoration, but his hooves were his true strength.
