In the serene landscapes of Norway, a heartwarming tale unfolded that transcends the boundaries of species.
Ella, a septuagenarian, lived a simple life on the outskirts of a small town. Her daily routine involved taking long walks in the nearby forests, immersing herself in the beauty of nature. One day, her usual tranquil walk was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot, followed by a sight that would change her life forever.
Ella found a young deer lying in her path, clearly wounded and in distress.
The gunshot she had heard earlier was unmistakably from a hunter who had targeted this deer. Despite the deer’s size and her lack of medical training, Ella felt an overwhelming urge to help the suffering creature. With great effort, she managed to bring the deer to her house, where she began her attempts to nurse it back to health.
Ella’s initial efforts involved providing the deer with food and water, and treating its wound with disinfectant and bandages.
She even managed to administer painkillers, unsure if they would have any effect on the animal. Covering the deer with a thick blanket, she let it rest on her porch, hoping against hope that it would survive the night.
The following morning brought a pleasant surprise for Ella. Not only had the deer survived the night, but it had also consumed the food and water she had left for it.
Over the next few days, the deer gradually regained its strength. Ella continued to care for it, changing the bandages regularly and keeping the wound clean.
A bond of friendship began to form between Ella and the deer, a bond that was built on trust and compassion.
As the deer’s health improved, it began to explore Ella’s garden. Despite a slight limp due to the wound on its front leg, it seemed to be adapting well. Ella continued to feed the deer and provide it with water. Over the next few months, the deer stayed near Ella’s house, growing stronger each day.
It was a sight to behold, watching the deer walk normally again, as if it had never been shot.
The deer’s recovery was not just a testament to its resilience, but also to Ella’s unwavering dedication and care.
Ella, who enjoyed deer meat herself, couldn’t bear the thought of this animal suffering. She was well aware that if she hadn’t intervened, the hunter would have found the deer, ended its life, and used it for its meat and antlers.
As summer approached, the deer began to venture further into the woods, staying away from Ella’s house for days at a time.
However, it always returned, allowing Ella to pet it and feed it. As years passed, the deer grew into a magnificent stag, yet it never forgot its human savior. It would visit Ella every day during the winter, gently tapping on her window with its mighty antlers to get her attention.
Ella’s relationship with the stag became a part of her daily routine. She felt a sense of responsibility and love for the animal she had saved.
The stag’s visits were a source of joy for her, a reminder of the bond they shared. Even at the age of 81, Ella cherished these moments, proud of the fact that the stag kept returning to thank her for her help.
This extraordinary tale of Ella and the stag she saved is a beautiful testament to the power of compassion and the potential for interspecies friendship. It serves as a reminder that every life is precious and that acts of kindness, no matter how small, can have profound and lasting impacts.
As Ella’s story shows in the video below, it is indeed possible for humans and animals to share a bond that is built on mutual respect and love.
