Once there was a monkey known to be truly fast in running. But he was seeking to win by any method, whether fair or cunning. His main concern was the small deer, who was walking slowly, which made it difficult for him to reach the finish that would begin at the last time.
During the running races, the fox was responsible for organizing the competitors. One day, the fox announced in every place that the best competitor he had in the next race was the small deer.
All believed the fox was winning, but the monkey became extremely angry and his severity increased from the deer. The deer wasn’t wanting to participate in that race, but he knew it was her habit and had to wear it for her. Then he gathered with a small group of his friends and took the fox to the starting place of the race.
The fox arrived at a mountain called Ali during a short time. He was always there a deer’s dung in the shape of his gait, where it would scatter during his descent or climbing on his belly.
When all reached the top of the mountain, none of them spoke a single word, as the mountain was looming high as if it were a cave, and there was horror in it and the race that would begin inside it. At that moment, the deer gave a signal saying: The race will continue until the other side.
The deer ran with all his energy and running toward the feast inside the water. His speed was very large to the extent that he won clearly, and the monkey couldn’t defeat him, as he was always trying to reach the other side.
The monkey felt as if he were drowning and crying and screaming until he succeeded in reaching the end. But he felt pain and harm, as by that he wouldn’t be able to return to his severity from the deer another time, but he learned from his experience of running that he didn’t win in it unless he left one behind him, and wouldn’t return to his energy again.
On that day, all were happy with what the deer did, and who made the monkey arrogant change his thinking and convert to the honest deer. All played with each other some, and the deer felt proud and happy with the success he was able to realize with the strength of his nature.
