The Story.
There was a greedy dog. He stole a piece of meat from a save himself and the
piece. Before long he reached a stream. He stopped, for a while, on its bridge
and looked at the river flowing underneath. He saw his own reflection in its
clear water. He took it for another dog with a larger piece of meat in his
mouth. He could not bear the sight. He jumped into the river at once. He opened
his mouth to get hold of the larger piece. But he lost his own and did not get
the other. He was greedy. He was, therefore, a loser.
Moral. Do not be
greedy.
