THE FAWN AND HIS MOTHER
 
A  Young Fawn  once  said  to  his  Mother, "I
do   not   see,  Mother.   how  it  is  that   you
should  be  so  afraid  of  the  Dogs.    You are
larger  than  a  dog, and swifter;  and  you  are
much more  used to  running.   Why  is  it  that
the  mere  mention  of  a  hound  puts  you into
such  a  terrible  fright?"
   The  Mother  smiled  upon  her  brave  young
son.   "Iknow  very  well,"  she said,   "that  all
you  say is true.   I  look  at  my  long legs,  and
remember  all the  advantages  that  you  men-
tion;  yet  when  I  hear  the bark of but a single
dog, I faint with terror.

   No  argument will give courage to the timid.
