The construction workers mocked the terrified fawn and threw it directly into the fresh cement, laughing loudly. But a second later, something happened that made them instantly realize their cruelty — and bitterly regret what they had done.

I thought this workday would be just like the previous ones: noise, concrete, dust — we were building a large resort complex in a picturesque area. I went there after school, already used to the constant hustle of the construction site. But that day, everything went differently.

A fawn, lost and terrified, suddenly appeared among the machinery. It darted from side to side until it slipped and fell into one of the pits. At that moment, only I and four other workers were nearby.

We immediately approached the edge, watching the little one try desperately to climb out. I started offering ideas on how to help, but two of the workers — rough and always looking for cheap entertainment — pushed me aside.

They laughed at the helpless animal, and then one of them came up with a monstrous idea: “Pour cement in there, let’s see what happens.” And they actually started doing it.

I froze in horror and was about to run and call 911 when suddenly the air seemed to thicken. Something began happening on the site that instantly wiped the smiles off their faces.

Through the noise of the machinery, a deep cracking sound echoed, and they stepped back, pale, realizing they would have to pay for their cruelty.

What happened next made them regret it more than they could ever have imagined.

But a second later, everything changed. An entire herd of deer suddenly burst onto the construction site.

They charged straight toward the two who had tormented the fawn, and after several strong blows, the men panicked and jumped into a machine.

The other deer ran all over the site, knocking over tools and creating complete chaos.

Seeing the terrified fawn in the pit, I jumped down to protect it. Soon the adult deer surrounded the pit and began circling it, as if guarding us.

Knowing time was running out, I helped the little one climb out. It ran to its mother, but its legs were covered with soft cement that was about to harden.

I carefully climbed out and went to the water hose. First, I rinsed the cement off my own boots so as not to scare the animals. They watched my every move. Then I aimed the stream slightly to the side — showing I wanted to help. The mother and the fawn approached, trusting me.

I gently washed the cement off its legs and sides. When I finished, the leader of the herd walked over to the machine where the guilty workers were hiding, paused for a moment — as if in warning. Then the herd turned around and disappeared into the forest.

And the two men came out pale and trembling. They will never forget this lesson.
