Description
Excerpt from The Story of a Red-Deer
Once upon a time there was a little red-deer Calf. You know what a red-deer is, for you of all boys have been brought up to know, though it may be that you have never seen a calf very close to you. A very pretty little fellow he was, downy-haired and white-spotted, though as yet his legs were rather long and his ears were rather large, for he was still only a very few weeks old. But he did not think himself a baby by any means, for he was an early calf and had been born in the second week in May and a birthday in the second week in May is the greatest event that can occur in a red-deer''s family.
The first thing that he remembered was that he found himself lying very snug and warm in a patch of fern, with the most beautiful pair of brown eyes that ever were seen gazing straight down upon him.
