Once upon a time a stag was drinking water in a stream. He saw the reflection of his horns in the water and felt proud. When he saw the reflection of his legs he felt ashamed. Just then he heard the barking of hunter dogs. He ran away as fast as he could. His thin legs help him to escape. He realized that his ugly looking legs were his real friends. Soon his beautiful horns prove an enemy to him. They got entangled in a bush. He tried his best to release himself but he could not succeed. The dogs reached there and they killed him.
MORAL:- All that Glitters is not Gold.
Answer:
All that glitters is not gold
Once a red deer went to a river to quench his thirst. As he was drinking, he saw his reflection in the clear water. He looked at his horns and thought how beautiful they are. Then he saw his legs. He felt very sad on seeing his thin ugly legs.
Suddenly the red deer heard the howls of hounds. He started running to save his life. He was running so fast that the hounds were left far behind. But as he was running through the forest, his horns were caught in the bush. He tried to set himself free but could not. The hungry hounds reached him and killed him.
The thin ugly legs helped the red deer to escape. But his beautiful horns got entangled in the bush leading to his death.
The proverb "all that glitters is not gold" expresses the wisdom that the attractive external appearance of something or someone is not a reliable indication of its true nature. Appearance can be greatly misleading and we must be careful not trust everything we see. To assume something as precious or valuable on the basis of mere appearance is unwise.
