&.&.&.&.&& 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 .&.&.&..&.
