A young stag was drinking at a pool. It looked at its reflection and remarked that he has such glorius antlers but his legs are so thin. Just then, the stag heard some hunters come towards the pool. It fled in terror. Its slender legs carried it swiftly away from danger. Once inside the thick forest, it thought that it was safe. But his antlers, which he valued so much, proved to be its enemy. They got entangled in the branches and no matter how hard he struggled, it could not get free. And very soon the hunters tracked it and trapped it.

Looks can be a trap, eventually hold you back in life, and can affect you being successful. Then your looks leave you, and you have very little and become a bag lady in your old age. Isn't this true of all the girls who flock to Hollyweird, out of say a million pretty girls, only one gets really famous.....and all the rest get used and abused when they should have been studying for a college degree in something useful.

the stag admired his antlers which later proved to be his enemy but his thin legs which he hated so much, later helped him to run away from the hunters. this proves we should not be after looks always but be happy with what we have.

Something that we value so much or we like so much maybe won't help us when we are in trouble, but something else that we hate maybe is the most valueable thing.

Becare what you prize about yourself...the prize may actually be the thing you refuse to see.

just because something is pretty or beautiful doesn't mean it is helpful or can be a friend. somethings are not always as they seem and things that aren't always pretty are helpful.
