This fable begins with a boastful Frog cheating a Fox in a race, which sparks a conflict involving the Lion and the Deer. The main storyline follows the clever Deer who repeatedly outsmarts the vengeful but gullible Lion using various tricks – including feigning death, a falling rock, mistaking the moon's reflection for cheese, and faking a tornado threat. These deceptions escalate until the Deer's final, rather cruel trick leads to the Lion's painful death, allowing the Deer to live in peace. The story highlights themes of cleverness versus brute force and the escalating nature of conflict and revenge, culminating in a stark ending where trickery leads to a lethal outcome.
