in Education4 years ago

Once upon a Time a dog was carrying a piece of meat in his mouth. Although his home was far away, he wanted to keep the meat to eat there. He did not want to have to share it with anyone.

On his way home, he came to a bridge over a river. As he crossed the river, he stopped to look down at the water flowing under the bridge. He was surprised to see another dog with a piece of meat in his mouth in the water below! He did not realize that it was only his reflection.
The dog snapped at his reflection, hoping to grab the piece of meat he could see.
Then I will have two pieces of meat he thought.
As he opened his mouth, the piece of meat fell out. It dropped into the water below and was carried off by the river.

And so, the dog had nothing to eat when he got home.
