FEAR DRIVES AWAY REASON

A young deer said to his mother,

“I’m larger than a dog and swifter and

I have horns to defend myself with.

Yet when a dog appears I run away with the others.

I have decided not to run from dogs, in future.” 

Just then they heard the bark of a dog. 

The young deer was filled with fear and

forgetting his resolve, took to his heels

along with his mother and the rest of the herd. 

Moral of this story:

Fear drives away Reason.
