The Four Friends
Retold by BookBox
Far from any town,
there was a forest,
in which all the animals and birds
lived together peacefully.
The forest was home
to four inseparable friends:
a deer, a tortoise,
a crow and a mouse.
Every evening they met
to discuss the events of the day.
But one day, the deer
became very frightened.
“Hunters are laying traps everywhere.
Is there anything we can do to escape?”
“Yes there is,”
the crow cried out.
“As our friend the mouse knows!”
The crow began telling everyone
what he had seen.
“Just the other day,
I saw the most
amazing thing.
A flock of doves got trapped
in a hunter’s net,
their wings flapping wildly.
Then suddenly, all together,
the doves picked up the net
in their beaks
and flew into the sky.
And where did they go?
Straight to our friend the mouse!
Straight to our friend the mouse!
With his sharp teeth,
he tore the net to pieces.
Free at last, the doves flew away.
Free at last, the doves flew away.
They were very grateful
to our friend.”
After the story ended,
the deer went in search of water
while
the three friends started nibbling
on the fruits, shrubs
and leaves of the forest.
They chatted late
into the night,
still waiting for the deer to return.
But the deer was nowhere to be seen,
and the friends
began to worry.
At dawn, while the others called out
to the deer, the crow flew
in every direction looking for her.
In a clearing,
he spotted the deer
with her foot caught in a net.
“Don’t worry,”
he told her calmly.
“We’ll think of something.”
The crow rushed back
to his friends.
The tortoise had an idea:
“Mouse, hop quickly
on the crow’s back.”
And they flew off
to rescue the deer.
Without wasting time,
the mouse bit through the net.
Just then, the anxious tortoise
reached the spot.
“Why did you come here?
If the hunter returns,
you’ll never escape!”
the deer exclaimed.
And the hunter did return!
Hearing his footsteps,
all of them ran away,
but the tortoise was too slow.
The hunter picked him up
and tied him to a stick.
“Oh no! Because of me,
poor Tortoise is in trouble,”
said the deer.
Suddenly, the deer leaped up
and ran to the pond near the path.
She lay down absolutely still,
while the crow pecked at her.
When the hunter
dropped the tortoise
and picked up the deer,
the mouse quickly cut the cords
and released the tortoise.
While the tortoise
slipped into the water,
the deer darted off
and the crow simply flew away.
The hunter trembled with fear.
He had never seen an animal
come back to life.
Thinking that the forest was haunted,
he ran for his life.
The four friends went home
and were happy to be
and were happy to be
together again.
