Crow: (In a low voice) Hey, be careful. See, the hunter is coming. Hide yourself.
(Everyone hid themselves quickly. They noticed the turtle crawling slowly.)
Turtle : Where are my friends ? I canāt see anyone.
Hunter : But I can see you, little creature !

Hunter : Where is the deer ? Even my net is cut.
(He put the turtle In his sack and carried it off. All the friends came out of their hiding places.)
Mouse: We saved one friend and lost one.
Crow: What will we do now ? How can we save him ?
(They were all sad and speechless.)
Deer : Hey, donāt worry. Letās move. I have a wonderful idea. I will lie down and pretend to be dead. When the hunter comes closer, I will get up and start running. The hunter will chase me. Our friend, the mouse, can do the rest during that time.
Crow: But this can be dangerous.
Deer : Donāt worry. Iāll be careful.
The deer lay down. When the hunter came that way, the deer started running. The hunter threw the sack and ran after the deer. Within no time, the mouse made a hole in the sack and the turtle came out. The deer hid herself in a bush.

Mouse, deer and turtle are my friends. We always meet near the lake in our forest. One day we got together near the lake, but our friend, deer, did not come … The deer is always on time. So the turtle and the mouse thought that she must be in trouble.
I said I will fly over the forest and find out the deer. When I was flying over the forest, I heard the deerās voice. She was crying for help. She was trapped in a hunterās net. I told the deer that we all friends will help her.
I hurriedly flew back to my friends and told them about the deer. The mouse said that he will cut the net. So I took him to the deer in my beak. The mouse cut the net and freed the deer. Just then the turtle came there crawling slowly.
Suddenly, the hunter also came there. All of us hid ourselves. But the hunter saw the turtle. He caught him and put him in his sack. My friends and I came out of our hiding places. We were sad and speechless. We saved one friend and lost one !
The deer had a wonderful idea! She said she will pretend to be dead. When the hunter comes to catch her, she will run away. The hunter will chase her. In the meantime, the mouse can make a hole in the sack and save the turtle.
All the friends agreed. The deer lay down. The hunter saw the deer. The deer started running. The hunter threw the sack and ran after the deer. The mouse made a hole in the sack and saved the turtle. The deer hid herself in a bush. In this way, we could save both our friends. We rejoiced. But the hunter was foolish! He lost both his prey.

At last, I came back. When I picked up my sack, it was empty! There was a hole in it! The turtle was out and gone ! Then I understood that the animals had saved their friends. First the mouse cut the net and saved the deer. Then the deer and the mouse saved the turtle. How foolish I was ! I lost both the prey. The animals fooled me. They rejoiced.

So the deer did not come to meet her friends-the turtle, the mouse and the crow. The three friends were worried. The crow said he will fly over the forest and find out the deer. As the crow was flying in the forest, he heard the deerās voice. She was trapped in the net!
The crow came back to the lake and told the friends about the deer. The mouse said that it will cut the net and free the deer. The crow took the mouse in his beak and flew to the place where the deer was trapped. The mouse quickly cut the net and freed the deer. The turtle also reached there. He was crawling slowly.
