佛教的故事:Beauty and Gray

　　Since he was too old and weak for the trip， he would remain behind in hiding. He warned them to be careful and have a safe journey. Beauty set out with his herd for the mountain forest， and so did Gray with his.

　　The villagers all along the way knew that this was the time the deer moved from the low lying farm lands to the high countryside. So they hid along the way and killed the deer as they passed by.

　　Gray did not pay attention to his fathers wise advice. Instead of being careful and traveling safely， he was in a hurry to get to the lush mountain forest. So he moved his herd constantly， during the night， at dawn and dusk， and even in broad daylight. This made it easy for the peopleto shoot the deer in Grays herd with bows and arrows. Many were killed， and many were wounded， only to die in pain later on. Gray reached the forest with only a few deer remaining alive.

　　The tall sleek red-furred Beauty， was wise enough to understand the danger to his moving herd. So he was very careful. He knew it was safer to stay away from the villages， and from all humans. He knew it was not safe in the daytime， or even at dawn or dusk. So he led his herd wide around the villages， and moved only in the middle of the night. Beautys herd arrived in the mountain forest safe and sound， with no one killed or injured.

　　The two herds found each other， and remained in the mountains until well after the harvest season was over. Then they began the return to the farmland country.
