Abstract
The hunter here is a lion. Before the chase, the stag is accompanied by smiling animals. The stag heads for the forest and is almost out of the lion's sight when he is caught not noticing where he is going. "What an unhappy fool I was, to take my friends for my enemies, and my enemies for my friends! I trusted my head, that has betrayed me, and I found fault with my legs, that would otherwise have brought me off." The last image has the lion in mid-leap ready to pounce on the crying stag. In GGE, the farmer's response upon finding a large, heavy, bright yellow egg is "Something's wrong with this egg." He is ready to throw it away. Over time, the farmer becomes greedier and lazy. His farm lies neglected. The moral as the farmer weeps and holds his bloody knife is "Greed destroys one's wit and wisdom."
