Mouse Deer loved to eat the fruits and roots and shoots of the forest. But he loved something else even more.
He loved the vegetables in Farmer’s garden.
One day, Mouse Deer went to the edge of the forest. He looked out at row after row of vegetables.
“Mmmm,” said Mouse Deer. “Juicy cucumbers! Yummy yams!” He started into the garden.
Snap! “Oh!”
His leg was caught in a snare! Mouse Deer pulled and pulled. But he could not get away.
“Oh, no!” he said. “Farmer will have me for dinner!”
Then he saw Farmer coming. Mouse Deer thought fast. He lay on the ground and made his body stiff.
“Well, well,” said Farmer. “Look what I caught. A mouse deer! But he looks dead.”
Farmer pushed him with his foot. Mouse Deer didn’t move.
“Maybe he’s been dead a long time,” said Farmer. “Too bad! I guess we can’t eat him.”
He pulled Mouse Deer’s leg out of the snare. Then he tossed Mouse Deer back into the forest.
Mouse Deer landed with a soft plop. Then he jumped up and ran. Behind him, he heard Farmer yell.
“Hey! You tricked me!”
Mouse Deer laughed. “Farmer is smart. But Mouse Deer is smarter!”

Chomp! Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater.
Mouse Deer laughed. “Stupid Crocodile! Don’t you know a stick from a leg?”And he ran off to drink somewhere else!
Another day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat tasty fruits and roots and shoots on the other side. But he didn’t want Crocodile to eat him first!
Mouse Deer had an idea. He called out, “Crocodile!”
Crocodile rose from the water. “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my breakfast?”
“Not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants me to count all the crocodiles.”
“The King!” said Crocodile. “Tell us what to do.”
“You must line up from this side of the river to the other side.”
Crocodile got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One.” He jumped onto the next crocodile. “Two.” And the next. “Three.”

“Just enough!” said Mouse Deer. “And all stupid!”
Then he went off singing his song.
