Deer's story

A beautiful woman was walking outside along the road above the river. A hiding deer then decided to speak. It said: “Your beauty is like dancing. Your eyes are like two small moons. My wife wants you.”

The woman heard that and she laughed: “My eyes are like two small moons? Your wife wants me? Yes, indeed! You can't say my name of three words! If you can, say it.”

The deer said: “I can say your name of three words if you want.”

The woman said: “Don't speak!”

The deer said: “Your husband and my wife can say it, so do I. What do you say?”

The woman said: “I say this!” With a knife she cut right through deer's skin. She cut quickly, the body fell into the waters of the river.

She finished but the the deer was still able to say: “Do you like this?”
