Once there lived a hind in a forest. She had a son who had grown very young and
strong. She was very happy to see his stout body and branched strong horns and
thought,stags have powerful horns, why should they be afraid of hounds, wolves
then? It's sheer cowardice. I would never like my son to do it at all.
After some time, the hind's son came there.The hind wanted to teach him to be
courageous. She said, "Son! You have a stout body and strong horns. So, you must
not run away from hounds and wolves.Don't be a coward."
Ok, mom; I won't, said the stag.Just then the mother and the son heard the
bark of the hounds. The hind got ready to run away when her son asked her to stay
on. She said, You may, but I have no horns.
Saying so, she ran as fast as she could. The mother herself was a coward and was
teaching courage to her son. What a satire!
