The text evidence that supports the theme is when the Hart laments, "I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown," highlighting how his vanity about his antlers ultimately leads to his downfall.
The Hart was once drinking from a pool
and admiring the noble figure he made
there.
"Ah,'
' said he,
Where can you see
such noble horns as these, with such
antlers! I wish I had legs more worthy to
bear such a noble crown; it is a pity they
are so slim and slight." At that moment a
Hunter approached and sent an arrow
whistling after him.
Away bounded the
Hart, and soon, by the aid of his nimble
legs,
was nearly out of sight of the
Hunter; but not noticing where he was
going, he passed under some trees with
branches growing low down in which his
antlers were caught, so that the Hunter
had time to catch him.What text evidence
