    Once upon a time, in a lush green forest lived a clever little mouse deer. It was known for its quick wit and playful nature.

    The other animals loved Mouse Deer's clever tricks and riddles, except for one - a cunning tiger. The tiger was always trying to outwit Mouse Deer and his friends.

    One day, Tiger devised a plan to capture Mouse Deer and his friends. He made a trap near the river, where they usually came to drink water.

    Mouse Deer, however, was too clever. He noticed the unusual setting and immediately understood that it was a trap set by the Tiger.

    Mouse Deer decided to warn his friends about the trap but knew he had to outwit Tiger first. So, he devised a plan of his own.

    He approached the trap pretending not to know about it. When Tiger jumped out to catch him, Mouse Deer swiftly moved aside.

    In his haste, Tiger didn't realize that he had fallen into his own trap. Mouse Deer then quickly ran back to warn his friends.

    The animals were grateful to Mouse Deer and promised to be more careful in the future. They all laughed and cheered for Mouse Deer's cleverness.

    Meanwhile, Tiger managed to free himself from the trap, but not before learning a valuable lesson about underestimating others.

    From that day onwards, Tiger never tried to outwit Mouse Deer or his friends again. Instead, he respected their intelligence and lived peacefully in the forest.

    And as for Mouse Deer, he continued to use his wit and cleverness to keep the forest a safe and happy place for all its inhabitants.
