The Pregnant Doe

Saturday 24 March 2018


There was a pregnant doe in a forest. As she was about to deliver her baby, she started looking for a quiet and solitary place. She found a thick grassland near the river banks. She thought it to be the most suitable place, and went there.

Soon, she started getting labor pains and she felt it was the time to deliver the baby on the grassland. However, the nature had some other plans. Dark clouds surrounded the vicinity and thunderstorm was just a few minutes away.

Worried she looked at her right side and saw a hunter aiming arrow at her. She thought to run towards left, but she saw a tigress approaching towards her. Suddenly a thunder struck at the dry grass in front of her and it caught fire. She looked behind where the deep river was flowing through.

Now what the doe could do! She was already disturbed with the labor pains. Besides this, she was surrounded with problems from all directions threatening to kill her. With all these problems around, she understood nothing was under her control anymore and surrendered herself to the will of nature.

The fortune took another turn to save her. The thunder flashed in front of eyes of hunter and bedazzled him. Due to this, the arrow shot by him missed the doe and went on to hit the eyes of tigress. The tigress roared in pain and fell in river. The hunter, frightened by the roar of tigress, ran away. It started raining heavily and extinguished the fire. The doe gave birth to a healthy infant.
