A Doe had had the misfortune to loseone of her eyes, and could not see any one approaching her on that side.
一只母鹿不幸失去了一只眼睛,因此她看不到任何从那一侧靠近她的事物。
So to avoid any danger she always used to feed on a high cliff near the sea, with her soundeye looking towards the land.

By this means she could see whenever the hunters approached her on land, and often escaped by this means.
通过这种方式,只要陆地上有猎人接近,她就能发现,以便及时逃走。

但终于猎人发觉了她有一只眼睛是看不见的,猎人租了一只小船,划到她常常觅食的悬崖下,从海面上把母鹿给射死了。
