The Greedy Dog
Once, there was a greedy dog called Rodger. He was hungry all the time. One day Rodger was walking past the butcher’s market. He stopped at one of the meat stalls as he saw a big piece of meat. He stole the meat and ran away.
While Rodger was searching for a better place to have his yummy meal, he came to a stream where he had to cross a bridge. He stopped for a while and looked in the water. What! He saw another dog carrying a bigger piece of meat than his one. In fact, it was his reflection which, he saw as another dog in the water. Now Rodger really wanted that piece of meat. Without thinking twice he quickly jumped into the water with his piece of meat in his mouth. But Alas! The meat fell out of his mouth and sank in the water as soon as he opened his mouth to bark at the missing dog. Finally, Rodger lost his delicious meal. He went away thinking about how foolish he was.
Moral: There’s no need to have it all, just make the best of what you have
