Dear Deer, and a full stop after that
A full stop denotes an ending. The ending is often a sad occurrence. Continuation is often considered as a welcome gesture. Dear Deer, the title of this story, is an address and denotes a beginning. Deer is a beautiful, silent and harmless animal. Herbivorous and so loving a creature that everyone will like to possess one. But it ends at the beginning itself. It's a truly rhyming title. This much can be rightly interpreted about the story from the title itself.; and you're right to do so. To know more please do this deck to its end.

I am going to tell you a story. A story about a deer mother and its fawn

Facts are dear to us, So, for now, I will give you some deer facts.
Deer are known for being calm and gentle animals. Many people even think of Bambi, the young and playful Disney cartoon, when they see a deer out in the wild

Deer are often seen slowly eating plants or leaping through the tall grass, and are recognized by their fluffy white tails and big antlers

Deer Names
Male deer are called bucks, and large males may sometimes be called stags. Bucks are the only deer that grow antlers, which they shed each winter and grow back again in the spring
A female deer is called a doe and a baby deer is called a fawn. Fawns are born with light spotted fur which helps them to camouflage in the tall grass. They will usually start getting farming after they turn a year old
Oh Sorry
the story?
She was a little busy on that day, grazing here and there and thinking about her life in the forest
Photo by Mathew Schwartz
Rain was scarce and all the sources of food and water were drying up; leaving very little to eat for all the animals in the forest

She was trying to suffice her waxing hunger by nibbling on the dry leaves that had fallen onto the ground

When she got some half dried leaves amidst the strewn out dried up leaves she became very happy

Her little calf was sucking her udder for milk
She had not fed it for a long time, busy locating a source of water and green grass along with her family flock

Suddenly she watched the leader deer looking up with its two ears held upright in the air and sniffing rapidly

He was sending signals to all members of the flock to be alert and ready for a flight

She also heard some sort of a sound of an ill omen; looked around sniffing

And she located him finally

The lion was fast approaching and he will reach the flock in a minute

She thought that the lion will see them and will catch one of them; tear it into pieces before them and eat while the children, youth and adults of her family watched it

It was too unbearable a sight to them. So she worked up a plan and started running in the opposite direction
The lion will locate her and will chase her, and thus, she thought she could drive the attention of the lion away from her family flock
The lion saw the fleeing deer and started chasing her; a beautiful catch, he thought and started running after her with an increased pace

When the lion reached far from her family and a few steps from her, she stopped abruptly

The lion also stopped immediately, thinking some tricks may be there in it

When she saw the lion had stopped a few steps away from her and is not pouncing on its prey the deer said
Photo by Haley Phelps
Hey, lion you can eat me in full. If you catch me or anyone else in front of our family the whole of the deer will be frightened to hell
Photo by fatedsnowfox
We cannot stand the sight of you killing one of us and tearing it into pieces, the pouring blood or the pitiable cry for precious life
They will never be free from that shock in their life, I am sure. So I ran before you
Photo by Ivan Sean
Now you can eat me, nobody will see it. I have just one request before you devour me, while going back take my child also away
I have been feeding her milk while we were alerted of your coming
You go and eat my little child also because if I am not there, it will die of hunger; nobody to feed her
I don’t want my child to suffer like that. You catch and eat my child too, and avoid my family for a longer time
The lion thought for a moment and started speaking to the deer
Normally we start hunting playfully much before we are hungry; then only we can catch a prey when we are hungry
We will catch, kill and eat our prey only when we are really hungry
Now you have stopped and surrendered before I am hungry; so I can’t catch and eat you and the lion returned back
Again both of them received a strange sound, an ill fate and the lion took to its feet
The deer looked around with its ears held up straight. Suddenly it happened

An arrow came flying from nowhere and pierced through the chest of the mother deer
She fell down and was writhing in pain. When she looked up in a prayer she saw a human animal approaching

Her child with its legs tied was placed around the neck of the human animal

The little deer was too frightened and finally had to watch her mother writhing in pain and dying
Photo by slopjop
All the hard work she indulged herself in and the risks taken, were all in vain. Nobody to cry out a “manishada’ was left on earth then
