While he was drinking he saw himself in the water. He felt very proud as he saw how big his horns were and what fine branches they had; but it made him angry when he looked at his thin, weak legs. Just then a Lion sprang at him, and he ran as fast as he could. He outran the Lion as long as they were on the open plain; but when they came to a wood, the Stag's horns became caught in the branches of a tree.
