5. A Foolish Stage
Once a stage was drinking water at a stream. He happened to see his reflection
in the water. He felt proud of his beautiful horns but despised his thin legs.
Suddenly he saw a pack of hounds at a distance. He ran as fast as his legs could
help him. Soon he left the hounds far behind. He had to pass through a thick forest
of bushes. His horns got caught in a bush. He tried hard to pull his horns out of it
but all in vain. By now the hounds came up. They fell upon him and tore him to
pieces.
