The Story of Four Friends
The tortoise, deer, and crow were true friends. One day, the deer was caught in a hunter's net. The tortoise was also caught later. The fox in some stories is portrayed as a schemer, but in the classic "Four Friends" tale, it is a mouse, along with the crow and deer, who helps free the tortoise.
The Fox and the Deceitful Plan
In a similar fable, a fox tried to turn the friends against each other, leading the deer into a net. Brainly.
The Plot: The fox brought the deer to a field to be caught.
The Rescue: The crow told the deer to play dead. The hunter, thinking the deer was dead, freed it from the net.
The Escape: The deer ran away, and the fox was punished.
True friendship and unity are stronger than cunning, and one should be wary of untrustworthy strangers.
