You are such a great killing machine. You can kill anyone with one mighty stroke. But, look at me. I am so weak. can't even run as fast as you can. Why do you waste your energy by killing me?" The panther got confused and asked, "So, what do you want me to do now?"

The panther was a very greedy one, wasn't he! So he left the goat and ran towards the mountain. The lucky goat escaped and ran to his friends happily.
