The Greedy Dog
A hungry dog snatched a bone from a butcher’s shop.
Pleased with his prize, he trotted home across a narrow bridge.
Below, the water flowed calm and clear.
In it, he saw what looked like another dog with a bigger bone.
Blinded by greed, he barked loudly.
His own bone slipped from his jaws into the stream.
He leapt after it — only to find cold water and empty jaws.
Dripping and shivering, he stood with nothing.
The “other dog” had been his own reflection all along.
✨Moral: Greed turns plenty into poverty.
