The Mouse Deer Story

The Mouse Deer Becomes the Judge

One day, the mouse deer was roaming the forest looking for young leaves. He likes the juicy young leaves in the forest. He always managed to find quality leaves as he knew where to look for them. After walking so away, the mouse deer got some young juicy leaves. He was very happy, as there were a lot of leaves everywhere. He started to eat the leaves happily.

He was eating leaves gluttonously. “Hmmm, these leaves are really delicious,” said the mouse deer happily to him self. After a while, the mouse deer was full and he stopped eating. “It is better for me to stop eating may stomach bursts,” said the mouse deer.

“Ouch! My stomach is very full and it’s so painful. I better go and drink something,” said the look for a pond or rover to drink water. But he couldn’t find any. I am so thirsty. I must drink some water,” said the mouse deer impatiently. He started to walk here and there to look for water but he could not find the water.

Finally, he mouse deer was lucky. He found a river not away from the place where he was eating. He rushed to river to drink some water. “Wow! The water in the rover is so cold and nice to drink,” said the mouse deer after drinking the water. Suddenly, the mouse deer heard someone screaming for help. He quickly rushed to the place and found the crocodile was biting the buffalo’s leg. He was shocked to see the buffalo struggling to release himself from the crocodile.

“What’s happening here?” asked the mouse deer to both the animals. “Mr. Crocodile wants to devour me. He doesn’t know to repay a good favour,” said the buffalo. “I don’t care, you are my good food for today,” said crocodile. “But, I helped you when you were in danger,” said the buffalo. “Okay, stop quarrelling. Narrate the whole story to me. How did the quarrel start?” asked the mouse deer.

“Actually, I was grazing along the river when I heard the crocodile screaming for help. When I came here, I saw a big tree that had fallen on the crocodile’s body,” said the buffalo angrily. “What happened after that?” asked the mouse deer curiously. ”I helped to lift the tree from the crocodile’s body. After that the ungrateful crocodile bit my leg,” continued the buffalo sad. “It’ll be a waste if I let go such a big prey like you,” said the crocodile arrogantly while, the mouse deer was walking up and down to solve for the problem. “Okay. Let me suggest you. I want you two to act out the whole incident again so that I can come to a conclusion>” said the mouse deer. The crocodile and the buffalo agreed to his suggestion.

Soon, the crocodile let go the buffalo. And the buffalo lifted the tree and put it on the crocodile’s body again. “This is how the situation was before,” said the buffalo to the mouse deer. Suddenly, the mouse deer asked the buffalo to escape from the place. The shocked crocodile screamed in pain but nobody came to help him. “Now you should know, how to be more grateful to those who help you,” said the mouse deer and left the place with the buffalo.

The Mouse Deer and His Magic Flute

On a fine afternoon, a mouse deer had just finished his dinner and sat down to relax for a while. Suddenly, there was a loud sound. The mouse deer knew something wrong happened. The mouse deer was very nervous. He stood and said, “I’m sure Mr. Tiger around this area. I must prepare to run away.” The mouse deer’s assumption was correct. From behind the bamboo plants came a huge tiger.

The tiger saw the mouse deer and said, “Really you are hiding here. I’m going to have a hearty meal today.” And the tiger roared loudly. Anyhow the clever mouse deer sat down and pretended to ignore the tiger’s coming. “Aren’t you afraid of me Mr. Mouse deer?” asked the tiger surprisingly. “It seems to me that you are very daring today,” continued the tiger.

I know you have come here to devour me,” said the mouse deer. “Than, why are you not afraid,” asked the puzzled tiger. “I don’t want to suffer anymore,” said the mouse deer. “Suffer! Why are you suffering?” asked the tiger curiously. ”Mr. Tiger, the king has ordered me to look after his magic flute and I’ve been guarding it for such a long time,” replied the mouse deer.

“It has been a week since I left this place. I was starving it was I’ve not eaten for many days. Therefore, it was better for me to die than waiting here like a fool,” said the mouse deer pathetically.

“What a sorrowful life, Mr. Mouse deer. Please let me know.  I pity you,” said the tiger later on. ”if I leave the place, the king will imprison me.” replied the mouse deer.

“The flue that you are guarding must be excellent. I’m sure it will produce a pleasant sound,” said the tiger. Coincidentally, there was a breeze an the friction of the of bamboos produced a pleasant melody like that music sound of was very nice to listen.

“There you are Mr. Tiger. Listen carefully for your self,” said the mouse deer. And the tiger started to close his eyes and listen to the pleasant melody of the bamboo plants.

“Mr. Mouse deer, would you please allow me to blow the king’s flute?” asked the tiger. “No problem, you can do it,” replied the mouse deer. “But you have to show mo how to blow the flute,” pleaded the tiger.

“Sure, it is very easy, just put your long tongue among he bamboos and blow as hard as you can,” explained the mouse deer. “That’s quite easy. Let me try,” said the tiger.

“But wait first. Let me go a little further because the sound will be quite loud for me,” said the mouse deer. The tiger agreed and he started to put his long tongue among the bamboos.

“Mr. Tiger, your can blow now,” said the mouse deer from away. At the same time, there was a strong wind, the bamboo plant swayed and the tiger’s tongue got stuck between the bamboos.

“Ouch! Ouch! It’s so painful!” screamed the tiger in pain. The mouse deer took this opportunity to escape. He way safe, he could be away from the tiger.
