The Dog and the Shadow


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 more.
