Long long ago in a time before time began there was a deer that lived in the desert under a big shady tree.
One day in the desert the little deer wanted to see her friends. She hopped out from under her shady tree and onto the desert floor. When the little deer started to cross the desert it became hotter and hotter, so hot that she started to leap, leap like she had never done before. She finally reached her friends and warned them that if the wanted to go out from under their trees they must leap because it is burning hot on their hooves. All the other deer’s believed the little deer and watched as she leaped all the way back to her shady tree.
So the next time you see a deer you will now know why deer’s leap everywhere they go.
