The dog and the shadow
Do you like keeping an animal in your house? Okay. Do you know the
reason why people keep a dog in their house? Don’t you know that sometimes a
dog can be so greedy that he steals all we have? This is a story about a greedy
dog. It happened that a dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in
his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home, he had to cross a plank
lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own
shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another
piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the
shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out,
dropped into the water and was never seen any more
So, what lesson can you learn from
this story?
