The Nine-colour Deer lives by the Ganges River（恒河）. It is very kind and helpful. Look！ The Deer is playing games. Suddenly， there is a cry for help（呼救聲）.

Tiao Da（調達）：? Help！ Help！

Rabbit： Listen！ Someone is calling for help.

The Deer： Look！ A man is in the river. I must help him.

Crow： You cant go. You will be found.

The Deer： It doesnt matter. Life is more important.

The kind-hearted（善良的） deer jumps into the river and saves Tiao Da.

Tiao Da： Thank you！

The Deer： Its my pleasure（榮幸）.

Tiao Da： You give me a second life. You are my owner（主人） now！

The Deer： Dont mention it！ Go back to your home.

Tiao Da： How can I repay（回報） you？

The Deer： Please remember（記?。?dont let anyone know where I am.

Tiao Da： I will never tell anyone. I swear（發誓）！

The King loves his Queen very much. One day， the Queen hears of a beautiful deer. Its fur has nine colours！

The Queen： My King， I heard of a magic deer. Its so beautiful. I want it！

The King： Why？

The Queen： I want to use its colourful fur to make a new coat.

The King： But， where is the Deer？

The Queen： I dont know. But I just want it. Please！

The King： OK...OK...

Then， a notice of catching the Deer is posted（公布）. Tiao Da sees the notice and hurries to see the King.

Tiao Da： My King， Ive met the magic deer before.

The King： Really？

Tiao Da： I can lead you there.

The King： Fine.

Its a fine day. The Nine-colour Deer is sleeping. The King and the Queen， with their army， go to the forest.

Crow： Wake up， wake up！ My Deer！

The Deer： What happened？

Crow： A lot of soldiers（士兵） are coming！

Rabbit： Run away quickly！ I heard soldiers talking about catching you.

The Deer： Why？

Crow： Dont talk！ Just run away！

Tiao Da and the army arrive（到達） at the place.

Crow： My King， we cant find the Deer anywhere.

The King： Tiao Da！ You lied（說謊）？

Tiao Da： My King， I dare not（不敢）. Please trust me.
