นิทานภาษาอังกฤษ เรื่อง กวางกับนายพรานหนุ่ม

The Hart and the Hunter

The Hart was once drinking from a pool

and admiring the noble figure he made there.

Ah,"   said he,

Where can you see such noble horns as these,

with such antlers!

I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown;

it is a pity they are so slim and slight

At that moment a Hunter approached

and sent an arrow whistling after him.

Away bounded the Hart,

and soon, by the aid of his nimble legs,

was nearly out of sight of the Hunter;

but not noticing where he was going,

he passed under some trees

with branches growing low down

in which his antlers were caught,

so that the Hunter had time to come up.

Alas; alas!"
