  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," he thought to himself. My legs and feet could have saved me, but I hated them. I didn't appreciate what was truly valuable."

  「我對我的角讚賞有加,但它們卻是讓我陷入麻煩的原因。我的雙腿雙腳本可以救我一命,我卻憎恨它們,我並不懂得珍惜真正珍貴的東西!」
