The Golden Deer & The Brave Little Boy🔊

Once upon a time, in a picturesque town named 'Middleton', nestled between vast green fields and clear, blue rivers, lived an orphan boy named Peter. Peter was not like other children. He had this uncanny ability to communicate with animals.

Every day, Peter would wake up early, head to the farm adjoining the Kiwi Orchard, and converse with the animals. The animals understood him, and he understood them. This strange yet fascinating ability of his brought him so close to the creatures that he began to regard them as his family.

One day, while wandering about in the woods, Peter encountered a majestic golden deer. The deer, frightened on seeing a human being, was about to bound off in the jungle when Peter said, 'Wait! I mean no harm'. To the deer's surprise, she understood the boy's language. Assured of no danger, she stopped and turned back.

The golden deer introduced herself as 'Goldie'. Peter and Goldie quickly became friends. Goldie became the big sister Peter never had and in turn, Peter provided Goldie company and protection from hunters.

Now, the tale of the golden deer who could communicate with a little boy slowly spread throughout Middleton. The news ultimately reached the ears of evil Lord Sterling, a greedy man who was known for his obsession with collecting rare and wondrous trophies. The thought of owning such a remarkable creature thrilled Lord Sterling. He decided to capture Goldie undeterred by the fact that it meant ruining the innocent friendship between a boy and a deer.

Aware of the impending danger to his friend, Peter decided to fight back. With the assistance of his animal friends - the horses, cows, birds, dogs, and even the tiny but mighty beavers - he devised a plan to protect Goldie.

Lord Sterling organized a grand hunting party, intending to capture Goldie under the guise of a friendly competition. As the hunting party approached the deer's usual spot, Goldie deliberately showed up to draw their attention. Just then, a flock of birds began their orchestrated attack by diving down on the horses, causing a commotion. Following this, the cows and dogs created a stampede-like situation that sent the majority of the hunting party fleeing in dismay. Still, Lord Sterling and a few of his men continued their pursuit of Goldie.

Just when he was about to reach Goldie, the ground beneath Sterling's feet gave in, and he fell into a massive pit, hastily dug and concealed by the beavers. As the dust settled, Sterling found himself surrounded by the same creatures he had always considered mere trophies. In his hour of humiliation, he was taught a lesson of respect, friendship, and unity.

Realizing the power of unity and kindness, Sterling had a change of heart. He apologized for his actions, promising never to harm any creature ever again. With that, he disbanded his hunting team, and the news spread like wildfire all across Middleton. From that day on, the golden deer was viewed not as a trophy but a symbol of unity and friendship.

Peter's bravery became the talk of the town. Still, he remained humble, thanking his ability to communicate with animals and his loyal animal friends. This unusual boy with an even more unusual skill had managed to change an entire town's mindset, proving that no matter how small or weak one seems, with courage and unity, all battles can be won.
