Light off Small Medium Large

A YOUNG FAWN once said to his Mother, “You are larger than a dog,
and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your horns as
a defense; why, then, O Mother! do the hounds frighten you so?”
She smiled, and said: “I know full well, my son, that all you say
is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even
the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as
fast as I can.”

No arguments will give courage to the coward.
