#¨¨#¨##¨¨¨ in the north, the deer is often used as ¨¨¨¨¨###¨¨
¨#¨¨¨###¨¨ a symbol for the forest's agency, or #¨¨¨¨#¨##¨
¨¨#¨¨#¨##¨ its self-knowledge. watching eyes. ##¨¨¨¨¨###
#¨¨#¨¨¨### ¨##¨¨¨¨#¨#
##¨¨#¨¨#¨# warmer regions instead ascribe it the ¨###¨¨¨¨¨#
¨##¨¨#¨¨¨# knife (teeth, rumors of violence), or ¨#¨##¨¨¨¨#
¨###¨¨#¨¨# obsession (unblinking eyes, always ¨¨¨###¨¨¨¨
¨#¨##¨¨#¨¨ awake, scrapie-like behavior). #¨¨#¨##¨¨¨

¨##¨¨¨¨#¨# the deer is a cross between a horse and #¨¨#¨##¨¨#
¨###¨¨¨¨¨# a dog. it bears a resemblance to a ¨#¨¨¨###¨¨
¨#¨##¨¨¨¨# young salix tree, and has a ¨¨#¨¨#¨##¨
¨¨¨###¨¨¨¨ sweet-smelling nose, like honey. ¨¨¨#¨¨¨###

##¨¨¨###¨¨ the horns of a deer is called antlers. #¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨#
¨##¨¨#¨##¨ they have a complex fractal shape, and ##¨¨¨¨#¨¨#
¨###¨¨¨### are believed to enable the deer to ¨##¨¨¨¨#¨¨
¨#¨##¨¨#¨# "fold" through passages which should be ¨###¨¨¨¨#¨
¨¨¨###¨¨¨# too narrow for them. antlers from dead ¨#¨##¨¨¨¨#
#¨¨#¨##¨¨# deer seem to lose this power. ¨¨¨###¨¨¨¨
¨#¨¨¨###¨¨ ¨¨¨#¨##¨¨¨
¨¨#¨¨#¨##¨ a deer's heart has two chambers, where ¨¨¨¨¨###¨¨
¨¨¨#¨¨¨### it stores all the secrets it might see #¨¨¨¨#¨##¨
¨¨¨¨#¨¨#¨# during the course of it's life. with ¨#¨¨¨¨¨###
#¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨# age the secrets will harden into a ¨¨#¨¨¨¨#¨#
##¨¨¨¨#¨¨# caramellized structure, which will #¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨#
¨##¨¨¨¨#¨¨ eventually block the flow of blood, and ¨#¨¨#¨¨¨¨#
¨###¨¨¨¨#¨ kill the deer. ¨¨#¨¨#¨¨¨¨
