THE DOG AND THE SHADOW

I read this story and liked it:

THE DOG AND THE SHADOW
As a dog was crossing a brook with a bone in his mouth, he saw his own image in the clear water, and mistook it for another dog carrying another bone. not content with what he himself possessed, the greedy creature snatched at the prize which he saw below. in doing so, he of course dropped the real bone, which fell into the brook and was lost.
The greedy, grasping at more than they have, often lose even that which they might in peace have enjoyed.

I have read this story. Nice to see how so many people have read and understood the meaning of greediness. I try to live by this, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. But maybe life shouldn't be perfect, not always. I hope everybody will learn from this. Love Alice, 29, Nowrich.
