The Deer without a Heart is an ancient fable, attributed to Aesop in Europe and numbered 336 in the Perry Index. [1] It involves a deer (or an ass in Eastern versions) who was twice persuaded by a wily fox to visit the ailing lion. After the lion had killed it, the fox stole and ate the deer's heart.
