Magic Antlers

In a jungle lives a young deer who has a pair of magic antlers. The colour of antlers will change from brown to blue when it is about to rain. The deer is very proud of his magic antlers.

The young deer always plays football with his friends - monkey, goat and cow. Everyday they will meet at the field and play football together, except the raining day.

One evening, when the young deer is about to go out and play football, the mother deer stops him. "Your antlers have changed to blue. It is about to rain, so stay at home."

The rain pours down after 20 minutes. But the young deer is very unhappy. "I could have played football for 20 minutes, if not because of my antlers."

This happens for a few times. One day, the young deer decides to paint his antlers into brown colour.

"Mum, I go out to play," says the young deer.

The sky is getting dark. The mother deer is puzzled why the antlers are still brown colour. Eventually she lets the young deer to go and play.

The young deer is happy that he manages to cheat his mother. He calls out all his friends to play. Initially the friends are reluctant, but when they see his antlers are still brown colour, they all agree.

After playing for a few minutes, the rain begins to pour down. Only then they know the young deer has cheated them. They immediately run home.

The young deer also walks home. But his house is quite far, and the rain is so heavy that he can't see anything. He feels very cold and helpless. He is now deeply regretted to paint his antlers.

As the rain is too heavy, the young deer has no choice but to seek shelter under a big tree. Unfortunately, the lightning strikes the tree and the young deer is struck to dead.
