"The Stag" is a popular fable attributed to Aesop, featuring a deer that admires its reflection in a pond. The stag is proud of its beautiful antlers but feels ashamed of its slender legs. When a hunter approaches, the stag flees, relying on its legs for speed. However, the stag's legs ultimately lead to its downfall. While escaping, it becomes trapped in a thicket, and its magnificent antlers become a hindrance. This story illustrates the theme of vanity and how one's perceived strengths can sometimes become weaknesses in critical situations.
