One day a dog found a big piece of meat. He was very happy. The meat smelled very good. He took the meat in his mouth. "This is mine," he thought. "I will go home and eat it. No one will take it from me." The dog walked down the road. Soon he came to a small river. There was a wooden bridge over the river. The dog walked onto the bridge. He wanted to cross to the other side. He held the meat tight in his mouth. In the middle of the bridge, the dog looked down. He saw the water below him. The water was clear and still. Then he saw something in the water. It was another dog! The other dog also had a piece of meat in his mouth. But the dog did not understand. He did not know it was only his reflection. He thought it was a real dog. He looked again. The other dog's meat looked bigger. "That dog has more meat than me," he thought. "I want that meat too. I will take it from him." The greedy dog opened his mouth. He wanted to bark at the other dog. He wanted to grab the bigger piece. But when he opened his mouth, his own meat fell out. It fell down into the water. Splash! The meat sank and was gone. Now the dog had nothing. The other dog was gone too, because it was only his reflection. The dog looked into the water again. He saw no meat and no other dog. He felt very sad and very hungry. The dog walked home slowly. He had no meat for dinner that day. He lost his good meat because he wanted more. Be happy with what you have. If you want too much, you can lose it all.
