He spoke in the direction of the tree. Oh my dear fruit tree， you used to give me your fruits by letting them fall straight down to the ground. Now， throwing them towards me， you do not act at all like a tree! Since you have changed your habits， I too will change mine. I will get my fruits from a different tree from now on， one that still acts like a tree!

　　The hunter realized his mistake and saw that the antelope had outsmarted him. This angered him and he yelled out， You may escape me this time， you clever antelope， but Ill get you next time for sure!

　　The antelope realized that， by getting so angry， the hunter had given himself away a second time. So he spoke in the direction of the tree again. Not only dont you act like a tree， but you act like a hunter! You foolish humans， who live by killing animals. You do not understand that killing the innocent brings harm also to you， both in this life and by rebirth in a hell world. It is clear that we antelopes are far wiser than you. We eat fruits， we remain innocent of killing others， and we avoid the harmful results.

　　So saying， the careful antelope leaped into the thick forest and was gone.

　　The moral is： The wise remain innocent.
