The Kind Deer (A Filipino Fable)

A big lion got trapped under a haevy trunk of a tree and could hardly
move. A deer was afraid of him but it was so kind-hearted that it
decided to help him get out of the heavy trunk.
It scratched the soil around vigorously, then the soil under his body.
After a long while, the lion was freed but he could not move easily
because some parts of his body were painful. He then asked the deer to
accomodate him to his cave, and there, he promised to give the deer
some food as a sign of gratitude.
The deer simply smiled at him and said it didn't want to try it's luck any
further. It was enough for the deer that the lion was in pain and could
not kill him. The deer then left.
