A
YOUNG FAWN once said to his Mother, "You are larger than a dog, and
swifter, and more used to running, and you have your horns as a
defense; why, then, O Mother! do the hounds frighten you so?" She
smiled, and said: "I know full well, my son, that all you say is
true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even the
bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as
I can."
