Once upon a time, there was a deer family. The members of this family are daddy deer, mother deer, brother deer and sister deer. They lived in a big forest. They stayed in a meadow of lush green juicy grass, and sunlight fell directly there . It was very beautiful there.
But, the brother deer was jealous of his little sister as he thought his parents loved her more than him. So, he always tried to harm her. One day, the deer family went on holiday to the rainforest nearby.
They set off to the rainforest. After walking a great way , they arrived at a meadow full of pink flowers.
Now, there was a hunter who lived in this rainforest, who loved to eat venison. He had put a trap in this meadow. And the deer brother got trapped. The parents started to get very worried for they didn’t know what that to do.
Mother deer then said to the sister deer, “go and fetch the other deer quickly.” Sister deer ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She came back with 15 deer. Then all of them hid behind the bushes till the hunter arrived. When the hunter came, how happy he was, he gave a laugh saying, “today I’m very lucky”, and when he was going to open the trap with his keys, all the deer ran to him and kicked him till he fainted.
Then sister deer got the key and used her mouth to open the trap. The brother deer was free.
He at once hugged his sister and said to her, “I’m so sorry for being jealous of you, thank you for saving my life.
From now on, I’ll be a good brother to you! “So, from that day he never grew jealous of his sister.
