diligent

 Walking in the park, walking down the path from the farmyard zoo. Hear the peacock's call, and take the higher path, the one that would lead to the castle if you were to follow it all the way. Just at the turnoff leading down the hill, look to the left into the old quarry. There is a deer standing there, looking straight out. It stays frozen in this position, looking.

Look back at the small animal with the thin legs and the big haunches. 

A woman with a dog is coming up the path.

Warn her that there is a deer nearby, so she stops and puts her dog on the leash. The spell that seemed to have held the deer in place appear to break, the deer runs up the steep slope out of the old quarry.

The dog stays sitting as commanded by his mistress. Commend the dog on his obedience, and praise the owner for her diligent training.
