149. The
Superstitious Stag Family
Once, a father
stag, a mother stag and their baby stag had gone for an outing, in a jungle.
All of a sudden, the antlers of the father stag got caught in the overhanging
branches of a tree. The stag struggled hard, but could not free himself. Now
the father stag started cursing his fate that how unlucky he was. Next morning,
a woodcutter who came along saw the stag with his antlers entangled with the
branches. Soon, the woodcutter set the stag free. On reaching home the stag was
shocked to see that lions had attacked their area, the previous day. Many
friends of the stag were killed. But he and his family were saved.
