      It was early spring. The flowers were not awaked yet. But the soil was already breathing, and sweet hazes drooped over it.

 

 

   At moments the hazes even seemed to jingle.

   But maybe it was not a seeming after all. Why, drip of thawing snow jingled for all day long.

   And a small fawn, who was walking on the meadow, heard the drip jingling and thought: "Well, if the flowers grow when it thaws, can they grow on the crown of my head?"

   But there were the hornlets that grew up, and not the flowers.

   "Hornlets, hornlets. But what are they for?"

  -- For butting, for butting, - suddenly a snail said, looking out of its shell. Then it bowed and showed how to butt.

   Then the Small Fawn started scaring every one away. He scared the Fox Cub. The Fox Cub climbed into his burrow, and just one ear was left out.

   He scared the Small Hare - the hare was so afraid that he jumped into a hole of a moldering aspen.

   And then no one was seen anywhere. There was no one to butt with any more.

   Suddenly someone showed up his hornlets from behind a mountain. That was the Moon who went for a walk in the sky.

   The Fawn climbed the mountain and said:

  -- My dear brother let us butt. Because no one wants to.

   But the Moon slipped behind a black cloud. The Fawn became all angry. He even stamped his foot:

  -- Well, who is to butt with me?

   He stamped once, and twice. And the thunder woke up. A tight tambourine beat sounded. And then a red lightning came up. The horns glared. The Fawn was scared. Everything roared around. And tall trees in the dark looked like horned monsters, too.

   The roughneck hid into a stack and spent all the night trembling there.

   Morning came at last. The sun went out, the soil sighed, and the hazes wrapped it all round again.

   The Fawn tried putting his hornlets up once more, but he remembered the other day doings and only bowed to every one:

  -- Please forgive me, I shall never do it again.

  -- With pleasure, - the Small Hare and the Fox Cub smiled. - But do behave. You were the reason why the sky went angry yesterday.

  -- This is right, - the Fawn agreed. - I was frightened myself with the red horns.

   The Fawn looked around, and he saw: small leaves appeared on the trees. Then the Fawn felt so sad.

  -- There, - he said, - they must have received leaves because they did not butt.

   He bent over a small puddle to look at himself. And even closed his eyes out of distress: his hornlets were so bare and ugly! Thus he was standing at the puddle with his eyes closed.

   A round shoal of merry butterflies flied by.

  -- Look, - one of them said, - but this is the kind Fawn. The one that said he was sorry today. And why is he so sad? Let us lower on his hornlets and find out.

   Some whisper and rustle brought the Fawn to himself. He opened his eyes and saw: his hornlets were blooming! Living leaves of butterflies were shivering on the top of them! And the trees around seemed smiling to him. Because now he was the most beautiful of the trees.

   If you please, turning into a beautiful tree is not very difficult a task. All it takes is being nice and not to butt.
