One day, a Dog was crossing a footbridge with a piece of
meat in his mouth.

The Dog happened
to look down the
stream and saw
his own reflection.
‘The dog down the
stream has a piece
of meat, too. It
looks juicy,’ the
Dog thought to
himself.

The Dog was
greedy. He wanted
to have the meat
in the stream, too.
He dropped his
meat and jumped
into the stream.
He wanted to
snatch the juicy
meat from the dog
in the stream.

The dog in the
water was only
a reflection. At
last, the Dog
found his meat
swept away by
the stream. He
lost both the
meat he owned
and the meat
he wanted.
