Once upon a time, there lived a dog in a small village with his master. One day, his master was not in home and 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 to the home. He held the bone tightly in his mouth and scowled at anyone who tried to take it away.
On his way to his home, he had to cross a bridge. While crossing the bridge, he saw his reflection in the water below. The foolish dog thought there was another dog in the water, holding another juicy bone. The dog wanted to have that bone too. He growled and barked as usual seeing another dog. Again he saw 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.
