Written by: Asma Kakar

Once upon a time, there were two deer, Piebald and Polka dots living in a cave near a nice and green mountain. One winter day, while all the places were covered by the snow, Piebald and Polka Dots were sitting sadly inside their cave. Polka Dots says that he hates snow and hates mountain more than snow when it wears the white shirt.

Piebald said that we are the mountain’s friends but it loves snow more than us. Meanwhile, they heard a voice of the mountain that was appreciating the snow.

Piebald and Polka Dots went near the mountain and asked it that why it doesn’t appreciate them instead of snow and called the mountain unfaithful friend and enemy of them. the mountain said that their fathers and ancestors were its friends and why they became its enemy?

Polka Dots asked that why you are appreciating our enemy, the snow?

Mountain said that snow is the friend of all of us because and it grows grass and stores water for wells and fountains.

Deer did not accept and wanted to leave the mountainside. The mountain gave them the address of a dry mountain. They traveled a long way to reach. They were very hungry and thirsty and saw nothing to eat and drink. They saw some camels and asked them about water and grass. the camels said that there is no rain and snow for a long time and due to that, all the grasses and water are dried. They asked the mountain and its answer was the same.

Piebald and Polka Dots said that we thought that snow is our enemy.

Mountain said that you don’t know that all animals, human beings, grasses, flowers and trees need water and water are get from the snow.

Piebald and Polka Dots knew their mistake and wanted to go back to their cave but they very hungry and thirsty and were not able to go back to their mountain.

A camel took them back to their mountain on her back. Piebald and Polka were regretful and wanted excuse from the mountain and after that day, they were always appreciating the snow.
