Chapter 3

TIME: _an hour later._ PLACE: _another part of the forest._

THE STAG. THE FAWN. THE HUNTER.

* * * * *

[_The_ STAG _is caught in a thicket by his horns. The_ FAWN _looks at him pityingly._]

FAWN. A man is near! I hear him running!

STAG. I cannot free myself!

FAWN. Ah, if you only had no horns!

STAG. Or if they were only not so strong and not so grand!

FAWN. Your feet could save you then, dear father.

STAG. Go, child, and let your feet save you.

FAWN. I cannot bear to leave you, father!

STAG. Go save yourself! Go, go!

[_The faun goes. The_ HUNTER _enters._]

HUNTER. Aha! I have you now!
