The Best Motivational,Moral Story : The Clever Antelope

Long time ago, in a forest there lived a young antelope. he was fond of the fruits of a particular tree. In a village bordering the forest, there lived a hunter who captured and killed antelopes for various reasons. He used to set traps for animal under fruit bearing trees. when the animal came to eat the fruit, it would be caught in the trap. He would then take it away and kill it for its meat. One day, while visiting the forest in search of game, the Hunter happened to see the antelope under its favourite tree, eating fruit. he was delighted. ‘what a big, plump antelope !’ he thought. “I must catch him, I will get a lot of money from selling his meat.’ Thereafter, for many days, the Hunter kept track of the antelope’s movements. He realised that the antelope was remarkably vigilant and fleet footed animal that it would be virtual impossible for him to track him down. However, he had a weakness for that particular tree. The crafty concluded that he could use this weakness to capture him.

Early one morning, The Hunter entered the forest with some logs of wood. He climbed the tree and put up a Machan (platform used by Hunters) on one of its branches by tying the logs together. Having set his trap at the foot of the tree, he then took on position on the Machan and waited for the antelope. He strewed a lot of fruits on the ground beneath the tree to conceal the Trap and lure the antelope. Soon the antelope came strolling along. He was very hungry and was eagerly looking forward to his usual breakfast of delicious ripe fruits. On the tree-top, the Hunter, having sighted him, sat with bated breath, willing him to come closer and step into his trap. However, the antelope was no fool. As he near the tree he stopped short. The number of fruits lying under the tree seemed considerably more than usual. Surely, something was amiss, decided the antelope. He paused just out of reach of the tree and carefully begin examining the ground. Now, he saw what distinctly looked like a human footprint. without going closer, he looked suspiciously at the tree. The Hunter was well hidden in its thick foliage, nevertheless the antelope, on closer scrutiny, was now sure that his suspicions had not been unfounded. He could see a corner of the Machan peeping out of the leaves. Meanwhile the hunter was getting desperate. Suddenly, he had brainwave 'let me try throwing some fruit at him,' Hw though. So The Hunter plugged some choice fruits and hurled them in the direction of the antelope Alas, instead of luring him closer, it only confirmed his fears ! Raising his voice he spoke in the direction of the tree" listen, my dear tree, until now you have always dropped your fruits on the earth. Today, you have started throwing them at me ! This is the most unlikely action of yours and I am not sure I like that change ! since you have changed your habits it will change mine. I will get my fruits from a different tree from now on one that still acts like a tree !" The Hunter realised that the antelope had outsmarted hith with his cleverness. Parting the leaves to reveal himself. he grabbed his javelin and flung it wildly at the antelope. But the Clever antelope was well prepared for any such action on his part. Giving a saucy Chuckle, he leapt nimbly out of the harms's way.
