In a large forest in Russia, there live many small animals. There is a little deer that is a bit different from other deer because its nose is red. All the other deer have black noses, but its nose is a bright red, like a ripe cherry. This little deer often feels inferior because of its red nose. It is always afraid that other small animals will laugh at it when they see its red nose.
One day, the little deer came to the stream to drink water. It lowered its head and looked at its own reflection in the water. The red nose looked even more prominent in the water. It sighed softly. Just then, a little rabbit hopped over. When the little rabbit saw the little deer's red nose, instead of laughing at it as the little deer had feared, it asked curiously, "Why is your nose red? It's so special." The little deer replied nervously, "I don't know. I've always thought it was ugly." But the little rabbit said, "No, I think it's very cute, like the red flowers blooming in the forest."
The little deer was very surprised to hear what the little rabbit said. It had never thought that someone would think its red nose was cute. The little rabbit added, "Your red nose is unique. It is a special gift from heaven." Since then, the little deer has gradually begun to accept its red nose. It no longer always keeps its head down, but bravely raises its head and runs around in the forest. When other small animals saw the change in the little deer, they all gathered around. The little squirrel said, "Your red nose is really interesting." The little fox also said, "Yes, it makes you look even more different."
Gradually, the little deer and the small animals in the forest have all become good friends. They play together in the forest, look for food together, and have spent a lot of wonderful time together. The little deer also understands that being different from others is not a bad thing, but can be the capital to make oneself more special. And its red nose has also become a unique scenery in the forest. Whenever a small animal sees its red nose, it will show a friendly smile.
