The deer at the pond 池塘边的鹿

　　There once lived a deer who had large, strong antlers. The antlers protected the deer from attacks, so enemies left him alone.

　　One day, the deer went to a pond to drink. The water was like a mirror. When the deer looked at his big antlers in the water, he was proud. I look like a king, he said, and this forest is my kingdom.

　　Then he noticed something else. My legs are slender and my feet are small, he said. They look so weak. I hate them.

　　While the deer was complaining, a wolf appeared at the pond. When the deer saw him, he ran toward the trees. The wolf quickly ran after him.

　　The deer was a fast runner and reached the trees first，but then his large antlers got stuck in some branches. When the wolf caught up to him, the deer cried out with regret.

　　I admired my antlers, but they are the cause of my troubles. My legs and feet could have saved me, but I hated them. I didnt appreciate what was truly valuable!
