佛教的故事:Mountain Buck and Village Doe

　　Meanwhile， unknown to the deer， there was a dan oftree fairies living in that part of the forest. They had beenwatching the mountain buck， while he secretly watched thevillage doe. When he walked out into the clearing， beganhis speech， and fell in the mud puddle the fairieslaughed and laughed. What fools these dumb animalsare！ they cried. But one fairy did not laugh. He said， Ifear this is a warning of danger to this young fool？

　　The young buck was a little embarrassed， but he didnot see it as any kind of warning. From then on， hefollowed the doe wherever she went. He kept telling herhow beautiful she was and how much he loved her. Shedidnt pay much attention.

　　Then night came， and it was time for the doe to godown to the village. The people who lived along the wayknew the deer passed by at night. So they set traps tocatch them. That night a hunter waited， hiding behind abush.

　　Carefully， the village doe set out. The mountainbuck， who was still singing her praises， went right alongwith her. She stopped and said to him， My dear buck， youare not experienced with being around villages. You dontknow how dangerous human beings are. The village， andthe way to it， can bring death to a deer even at night.Since you are so young and inexperienced （and shethought to herself， and foolish）， you should not comedown to the village with me. You should remain in thesafety of the forest.
