THE GREEDY DOG
Once upon a time, there lived a dog. One
day, he was very hungry and went in search of food. To his delight, the dog found
a juicy bone. The dog happily carried the bone back home. He held the bone
tightly in his mouth and scowled at anyone who tried to take it away.
On his way home, he had to cross a
bridge. While crossing the bridge, the dog saw his reflection in the water
below. The foolish dog thought therewas another dog in the water, holding
another juicy bone. The greedy dog wanted to have that bone too. He growled and
barked at his own reflection in the water. “I’ll get that bone too,” thought
the greedy dog, and he snapped his sharp teeth and barked at his reflection in
the water.
But alas! The moment the foolish dog
opened his mouth to snap his teeth, the piece of bone fell into the stream. The
dog lost his bone and had to go home, hungry.
