The deer, running away from hunters who were trying to catch it alive, climbed into a cave. But a lion jumped there after him and tore him to pieces.
Dying, the deer thought:
“I was very sad when the hunters were chasing me, and although they did not make an attempt on my life, I ran away from them. And so I gave myself up to be torn to pieces by a predator.
It happens that a person, wanting to avoid small adversities, incurs great suffering on himself.
