A stag went for an outing with his family in a jungle. Suddenly， his antlers got caught in the branches. The stag struggled hard， but could not free himself. His wife and baby kept on watching helplessly. The stag thought， “Everything was fine till now. Now， I am stuck. We won’t be able to reach home until I have my antlers free. How unlucky I am！” The stag struggled for some more time but he was exhausted. He finally gave up. The stag kept cursing his fate all the night.
The next morning， a woodcutter cut down the branches and set the stag free. The stag thanked him and rushed back home with his family. On reaching home， he was shocked to learn that a pack of lions had attacked their area the previous day. Many lives were lost. Within the flash of a second， the stag realized that he and his family were saved because his antlers had got caught in the branches. The moments which he considered to be the worst period turned out to be the most fortunate for him.
牡鹿和家人在丛林里郊游。突然，它的角被树枝缠住了，它奋力挣扎，但是无济于事。而它的妻子和孩子只能眼巴巴地看着。牡鹿心想：“之前一切都很美好，可现在我被困住了，如果不能挣脱出来，我们就回不了家。我真是太倒霉了。”牡鹿又奋力挣扎了一会儿，筋疲力尽，最后它放弃了。牡鹿整晚都在为自己的不幸而愤愤不平。
第二天早上，一个伐木工砍断树枝救了它。牡鹿表示感谢后便和家人匆忙赶回家。一回到家，它感到无比震惊。原来，昨天有狮群偷袭了它们的栖息地，很多鹿丧了命。这一瞬间，牡鹿意识到因为它的鹿角被树枝缠住，它和家人反而逃过一劫。本以为最糟糕的时刻，竟是它最幸运的时候。
