Whenever I see a deer I get reminded of this story.
A deer lived in a jungle and had a good beautiful horns. Once it had gone to drink water in a shallow water body and it could see its own image reflected in the water. After seeing the image of the self, the deer thought "How beautiful are my horns and look at my legs so lean and they look awkward and spoil my whole beauty".
The deer had just finished drinking water and heard the sound of roaring lion. The deer slowly moved without making noise to escape from the lion but the lion had seen the deer and gave a chase. Now the deer had to run to save its life and ran faster and faster until it had seen a place to hide. It hid in a small cave like formation. But the lion had seen the deer hiding and was heading towards the cave and deer seeing lion approaching, deer decided to run but its horns got stuck since the cave was small. The deer at last could take out its stuck horns and was fortunate to run once again faster, faster and faster to save its life from the Lion.
After it reached to a safer destination the deer thought how foolish was its previous thought and realised if its legs had not given the pace to run, it would have died in the hands of Lion and the beautiful horns never helped but only made the deer land into problem by stuck in the cave.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Never underestimate your weakness and at the same time never be overconfident of your strength.
The above moral is as per my thinking and can always be related to other moral.
