The Wonderful Stag, or The Courtship of Red Elsie

This is a really short story, free on Tor.Com HERE.
A fairy tale story about village couples who seek approval for marriage from a stag with golden rings adorning its horns following tradition.
Eventually one suitor, determined to convince a woman to fall in love with him, is unable to catch up to the stag. He hatches a plan to get a golden ring.

Too short to be able to say much more!

3 stars - too brief!
