The Fawn And His Mother
Aesop Fable: The Fawn And His Mother
A young fawn once said to his Mother, "You are larger
than a dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and
you have your horns as a defense; why, then, O Mother! do
the hounds frighten you so?"
She smiled, and said: "I know full well, my son, that all
you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but
when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to
faint, and fly away as fast as I can."
No arguments will give courage to the coward.
