Little Deer began to swim.
While she was in the water, a heavy, thick fog rolled in.
Little Deer could not see where she was going.
She turned around in the fog
and headed right back to where she started from.


The wolves questioned her some more.
But still she insisted she knew nothing about it.
She told her captors, “I'll go out by the fire

and cry for my master”

Little Deer kept on singing, happy about what she had done.
But the wolves had tracked her to the beach.
20 They pounced on Little Deer and killed her.


This story is about a little deer.

After some time, Little Deer came to a beach.

Across the water was land.

She thought, “If only I could get over there,
Td be safe,”


Little Deer quickly went back to the fire
and covered herself with ashes.
She made believe she was still asleep.




As the story goes, Little Deer was captured
by a band of wolves.
2 She was taken into the woods and made into a slave.






Up to this day, this is how the story goes.

When you are lost in the fog,
you turn around in circles

and don’t know where you'll end up.

So, when you're outdoors,
be careful and respect the fog.

Level III Book 5


When the rest of the wolves woke up,
they discovered their chief had been killed.

They called Little Deer and said,
“Our brother, our chief, has been shot with an arrow.

Do you know anything about it?”
“No? said Little Deer, “I don’t”




Little Deer found a bow and arrow.
She sneaked up to the door, opened it,
and saw all the wolves asleep.
She took the arrow and shot one of the wolves.
It was the chief.


18

When she finally saw land she thought,
“Oh, I’m across now!

I'm safe!”

Little Deer was very happy.

She chanted a song as she climbed out of the water
and shook herself.

She sang, “I’ve escaped from those wolves,
and I’m no longer a slave”

But when Little Deer was outside, she did not cry.

Instead, she spoke to some rocks.

She told them, “Now you cry just as if] am crying,
and I will make my escape”

While the rocks were crying,
Little Deer made her escape.
It wasn’t long before the wolves went outside
and found that she was gone.
Then they realized it was she who had shot their chief.
So the wolves took off and followed Little Deer’s tracks.
