Immediately, he let that hare go; the hare was extremely relieved and thanked God for this great escape. The lion then started to run to catch the big and looking delicious deer. After sensing the lion's presence, the deer began fleeing in seconds. She ( the deer) ran extremely fast through the jungle and vanished into the deep jungle.
