Once upon a time in a jungle, there lived four friends- a deer, a mouse, a crow and a tortoise. They were very good friends and would spend most of their time with one another. 

One day they saw a hunter approaching in forest.

They all started to ran and escape. 

The deer ran quickly into the trees, the crow flew to the highest branch of the closest tree and mouse darted into a hole nearby. 

The tortoise, being a slow creature, could not escape as fast as others. The hunter trapped him in his net. Though the hunter was disappointed on not being able to catch the deer, he was happy that he had the tortoise and would not go hungry.

The deer, the mouse and the crow were very worried to see their friend caught. They came up with a plan to save him. 

The crow flew high up in the sky to locate the hunter .

Then, the deer overtook the hunter, unseen, and went and lay at a little distance on the path, pretending to be dead.

When the hunter saw the deer lying on the ground, he thought the deer must be dead.
