Aesop’s Fables - Naxos, The Hart and the Hunter

The Hart and the Hunter

The Hart was once drinking from a pool and admiring the noble figure he made there. ‘Ah,' said he, ‘where can you see such noble horns as these, with such antlers! I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown; it is a pity they are so slim and slight.' At that moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow whistling after him. Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the aid of his nimble legs, was nearly out of sight of the Hunter; but not noticing where he was going, he passed under some trees with branches growing low down in which his antlers were caught, so that the Hunter had time to come up. ‘Alas! alas!' cried the Hart:

‘We often despise what is most useful to us.'

The Hart was once drinking from a pool and admiring the noble figure he made there. ‘Ah,' said he, ‘where can you see such noble horns as these, with such antlers! Ah", disse ele, "onde é que se pode ver uns cornos tão nobres como estes, com uns chifres tão grandes! 'Ah,' dedi, 'bunun gibi soylu boynuzları, böyle boynuzları nerede görebilirsin! I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown; it is a pity they are so slim and slight.' At that moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow whistling after him. Keşke böyle asil bir tacı taşımaya daha layık bacaklarım olsaydı; ne yazık ki bu kadar ince ve zayıflar. O anda bir Avcı yaklaştı ve ıslık çalarak peşinden bir ok gönderdi. Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the aid of his nimble legs, was nearly out of sight of the Hunter; but not noticing where he was going, he passed under some trees with branches growing low down in which his antlers were caught, so that the Hunter had time to come up. Il s'élança et, grâce à l'agilité de ses jambes, fut bientôt hors de vue du chasseur ; mais, ne remarquant pas où il allait, il passa sous des arbres aux branches basses dans lesquelles ses bois s'accrochaient, de sorte que le chasseur eut le temps de s'approcher. ‘Alas! 'Eyvah! alas!' cried the Hart: "Eyvah!" diye bağırdı Hart:

‘We often despise what is most useful to us.' Nous méprisons souvent ce qui nous est le plus utile.
