Once upon a time there lived a dog, he was very greedy.  There were many times that he had to pay for his greed. Each time the dog promised himself, “I have learned my lesson. Now I will never be greedy again." But he soon forgot his promises and was as greedy as ever. 

One afternoon, the dog was terribly hungry. He decided to go look for something to eat. Just outside his house, there was a bridge. “I will go and look for food on the other side of the bridge. The food there is definitely better," he thought to himself. 

He walked across the wooden bridge and started sniffing around for food. Suddenly, he spotted a bone lying at a distance. “Ah, I am in luck. This looks a delicious bone," he said. 

Without wasting any time, the hungry dog picked up the bone and was just about to eat it, when he thought, “Somebody might see here with this bone and then I will have to share it with them.

Thinking someone would steal his bone, he decided to go home and eat it. While holding the bone in his mouth, he ran towards his house. 

While crossing the wooden bridge, the dog looked down into the river. There he saw his own reflection.

The foolish dog mistook it for another dog. “There is another dog in the water with bone in its mouth," he thought.
