Moral Story All That Glitters is Not Gold in English
It is said: there lived a stag in a forest. He was proud of his swift speed, sharp and pointed horns and well-built body. He used to stroll and stride in the forest and enjoyed life to its peak. One day while wandering in the forest, he felt thirsty. He reached a nearby stream to quench his thirst. While drinking water he saw his own reflection in the transparent water of the steam. He was pleased to see his beautiful horns that were like a crown on his head. He was intoxicated by their beauty and could not help praising them. His wandering eyes reached to his thin legs. He was grieved at their ugliness and thought them a slur upon his beautifully built body. He started cursing them. He was lost in these thoughts when he heard the bark of some hounds.
