THE DOG AND HIS IMAGE










One day a dog found a large piece of meat. "This is fine!"he said . I will take this meat home with me. What a good dinner I shall have"So he took the meat in his mouth and ran toward home.On the way he had to cross a deep stream. As he looked down into the water , he saw what he thought was another dog, carrying another piece of meat bigger than his own.









Being a greedy fellow, he dropped his own piece and jumped into the water to get the other dog's piece.His own sank to the bottom, and the water was so deep that he could not dive down to it.
So he got only a wetting and a mouthful of water, Then he saw that his greediness had cost him his dinner.
