In a dense forest, a clever little deer was well-known for its intelligence. Every day, it roamed the forest in search of food, always alert for potential threats.

One day, while the deer was looking for fruits, it encountered a very hungry tiger. The tiger growled, 'Hey, Deer! You will be my lunch today. Nothing can save you!'

The deer, thinking quickly, replied, 'Oh mighty Tiger, I know you're very hungry. But before you eat me, can I tell you something very important?'

Intrigued, the tiger asked, 'What is it, Deer? Speak up, my stomach is growling.' The deer replied, 'Nearby, there's a place where I've stored lots of delicious food. If you follow me, you can get far more food than just eating me.'

Suspicious, the tiger said, 'What do you mean, Deer? Don't try to trick me!' To which the deer responded, 'I wouldn't dare lie to a great tiger like you. But if you don't believe me, you can follow me and see for yourself.'

The tiger, enticed by the promise of abundant food, decided to follow the deer. The clever deer led the tiger to a deep, rapid river.

The deer said, 'Look into the river, Tiger. You'll see your own large and powerful reflection. At the bottom of that river is the abundant food I told you about.'

The tiger, seeing its reflection in the water, was convinced. 'Wow, you're right! There's a big tiger in the water, and there must be lots of food there. I'm going to jump in!'

Without further thought, the tiger leaped into the fast-moving river. But the current was too strong, and the tiger couldn't get out, being swept away by the water.

The deer chuckled softly, 'Foolish tiger. I've survived once again.'

The deer returned to its search for food in peace, while the tiger learned a valuable lesson that greed can end in disaster.

And so, friends, that's the story of the clever deer outwitting the hungry tiger. From this tale, we learn that intelligence and alertness can save us from lurking dangers.
