佛教的故事:Mountain Buck and Village Doe

　　At this， the tree fairies applauded. But of course， thedeer could not hear them.

　　The young buck paid no attention to the doeswarning. He just said， Your eyes look so lovely in themoonlight！ and kept walking with her. She said， If youwont listen to me， at least be quiet！ He was so infatuatedwith her， that he could not control his mind. But he didfinally shut his mouth！

　　After a while， they approached the place where thehunter was hiding behind a bush. The fairies saw him， andbecame agitated and frightened for the deers safety. Theyflew nervously around the tree branches， but they could0nly watch.

　　The doe could smell the hiding man. She was afraidof a trap. So， thinking to save her own life， she let thebuck go first. She followed a little way behind. When the hunter saw the unsuspecting mountainbuck， he shot his arrow and killed him instantly. Seeingthis， the terrified doe turned tail and ran back to theforest clearing as fast as she could.

　　The hunter claimed his kill. He started a fire，skinned the deer， cooked some of the venison and ate hisfill. Then he threw the carcass over his shoulder andcarried it back home to feed his family.

　　When the fairies saw what happened， some of themcried. As they watched the hunter cut up the once noblelooking buck， some of them felt sick. Others blamed thecareful doe for leading him to the slaughter.
