The Fawn and His Mother
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." No arguments will give
courage to the coward.
