fs= the moral of the story is "What is most truly valuable is often underrated." The male deer loved his top but hated his legs. Maybe you also love parts of your body and dislike others. Don't be like the stag. There is a reason some parts are stronger and others weaker. He admired his top but hated his legs yet was let down by his horns which entangled him. He undervalued what he should have better valued.
