DEER have horns, right? But
long time ago, deer did not have horns. Instead, dogs had horns. How did the
deer get the horns? Here is the story. It was a very hot day. A couple of deer
went to a river to drink. They were husband and wife. After arrived in the
lake, they immediately drank some water.
Suddenly, the wife saw an
animal coming. “My husband, who is he? Wow! He is very handsome with his horns,” said the
female deer. “Oh, that’s my friends. He is a dog. By the way, did you say he is
more handsome than me?” asked the male deer. He was jealous. “Of course not,
you are still more handsome than he is. But I have to admit that his horns are
beautiful. If you have those horns, I think you will look very attractive.”
“OK, then, I have an idea how to take the horns from the dog. Just wait here.”
“Hi, how are you?” asked the
male deer to the dog. “I’m just fine,” answered the dog. “How about you?” “Not
really good. You see my wife over there? She thinks that I cannot run fast like
other male deer. Do you mind if we have a running match? I really want to
practice,” said the male deer. “Don’t worry, my friend. Let’s have running
match now.”
After that, the running match
began. The male deer won. Then, he tried to cheer the dog up. “Well, don’t be
sad. You cannot run fast because you have your horns on your head. What if you
let me wear the horns,” asked the male deer. “OK, but please wear the horns
carefully. I don’t want them to be broken.” “Don’t worry. I will be careful,”
replied the male deer. And he immediately put the horns on his head. “Wow? My
wife is right. I really look great with these horns,” said the male deer to
himself. Then, they started the running match again. The male deer ran as fast
as he could. He ran very fast and did not stop. He was trying to steal the
dog’s horns. “Hey come back! Bring back my horns!” the dog was very angry.
Until now, dogs always try to catch deer. The dogs want to get their horns
back.
