We met an elk and a musk deer in the taiga. Sokhaty says:
- Why are you so small, lop-eared? You are spoiling our mighty deer family with your appearance!
The musk deer, fluffy and shaggy, looking up at the elk, answers:
- You are so big, and if you count, you have less hair than me...
Sokhaty was sure that there was no animal larger than him in the entire taiga. He suddenly somehow pulled himself up, sprung up, raised his head higher, and his horns powerfully flew up into the sky.
“Uh, what did you want, baby,” he says casually. - Of course, you can check it.
They began to check and count who had more hair—fur. They counted a day, they counted two, they counted for a long time. And it turned out that the musk deer has five more hairs than the elk.
Sokhaty got angry and raised his front leg to hit the musk deer. But she managed to jump back, and the giant’s hoof only touched her from behind - and a small notch remained there.
The musk deer looked at the elk with contempt and left him with dignity.
