The Dog and his Reflection
A Dog, to whom the butcher had
thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he
crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected
in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real
Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.
If he had stopped to think he
would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang
at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach
the shore. At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking
about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a stupid Dog he had
been.
It is very foolish to be
greedy.
