The old man heard faint barks amidst the forest. He went into the forest to investigate. Where he heard the barks, nothing was there. So he left the forest, then later the barks started up again. He returned to the forest but found nothing. This time the old man stayed in the area. The barking sounds grew louder. He took a peek through the tree branches and saw a very small and undernourished yellow deer.
The old man asked,
“Why do you cry out for your mother when she is not here?”
“I’m so weak and hungry,” replied the yellow deer.
“Food is all around you. Twigs, leaves, flowers, herbs, shrubs, and trees,” replied the old man, “all are ready to be eaten. But you got to look for them.”
“I would like to graze grass,” replied the yellow deer.
“Winter months are before you. I don’t see grass to be plucked. Grass doesn’t grow well in the winter.”
“You don’t know how delicious twigs will be since you haven’t eaten any before. I don’t thing the twigs are as delicious as the leaves. If I were you I would try the twigs last. Or if you’re going to try them first, then get them out-of-the-way so you can get to the good stuff.”
So the yellow deer tried the twigs first to say that “If the twigs taste this bad, then what is left to eat.”
“Grown-up deers eat them. These leaves are as green as the grass you eat; try them maybe the taste is similar.
“Hmmmm these taste a lot better than the twigs,” replied the yellow deer.
“Have you ever had an acorn before?” asked the old man.
“No I haven’t,” replied the yellow deer, “this will be my first winter without grass.”
“I think acorns are second best to grass. But acorns are very hard to come by because squirrels like to bury them and to dig them out later for winter months. Not every falling acorn from a tree gets a chance to be buried under ground. So lets find an acorn tree.”
Not only did the old man and the yellow deer find an acorn tree; but they also found the mother deer under the tree feeding.
Jake, I think you’re right.
Cheers
Eugene
