The story: A
stag was once drinking water at a spring. He saw his reflection in its clear
water. He was greatly pleased to see his beautiful horns. But he did not like
his lean, thin legs. Just then he saw some hounds running towards him. He felt
the danger he was in, and was off like the wind. His ugly legs carried him so
swiftly that, very soon, the hounds were left far behind. He saw a thick forest
in front of him. He rushed into it to hide himself. But his beautiful horns
were caught in the branches of tree. He tried free himself but could not. He
was held a prisoner, until the hounds reached the spot to make an end of him.
His ugly legs were of great help to him. But his graceful horns were the cause
of his death.
The emperor Babar fell
ill, and Humayun began to feel better day by day. At last the son recovered
fully, and his loving father passed away.
Moral: No
sacrifice is too great for a son.
