A fawn once said to his mother, “You are bigger than a dog, wonderfully swift and nimble, and you have antlers to defend yourself. Why, then, Mother, are you so afraid of dogs?” She laughed and replied, “I know perfectly well, my child, that I have all these advantages. But whenever I hear a dog bark, my mind grows dark with fear, and I take to flight.” The fable shows that no words of encouragement can give courage to those who are timid by nature.
