The Fawn and His Mother_英语寓言故事

a young fawn once said to his mother, "you are larger than a dog,
and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your horns as
a defense; why, then, o mother! do the hounds frighten you so?"
she smiled, and said:
"i know full well, my son, that all you say
is true.
i have the advantages you mention, but when i hear even
the bark of a single dog i feel ready to faint, and fly away as
fast as i can."


no arguments will give courage to the coward.
