The Fawn And The Buck

________________________________________________
Title:     The Fawn And The Buck
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

A Fawn said to its father: "You are larger, stronger, and more active than a dog, and you have sharp horns. Why do you run away when you hear one barking?"

"Because, my child," replied the Buck, "my temper is so uncertain that if I permit one of those noisy creatures to come into my presence I am likely to forget myself and do him an injury."
