The Fawn and His Mother

Wed May 16, 2012 by Kunal Bansal

A YOUNG FAWN once said to his Mother, 'You are larger than a dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your horns as a defense; why, then, O Mother! do the hounds frighten you so?' She smiled, and said: 'I know full well, my son, that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as I can.'

No arguments will give courage to the coward.
