Aesop's fables in words of one syllable

eBook
Some men sought out a hart for the chase, when one made a rush out of the wood, and hid from them in the shade of a thick vine, so that they quite lost sight of him. It was the best hide and seek that could be, so thought the stag, but he hid not for the sport, but for dear life. There he lay, still as a mouse. In a short time he took heart to browse on the leaves of the vine, which hungso green and fresh just at his nose. He saw no harm in one more crop, and then one more, till he quite lost sight of what he had come there for. More than this, he so shook the tree when he took a bite, that he drew the eyes of the men to the spot, and as the vine was now too thin of leaves to hide him, they shot at him, and he fell down dead.
