Story Begins

Once upon a time, a dog was hungry and wandering in the streets in search of food. After some time, he got a piece of bone near a trash bin outside a house. He took that bone immediately and ran from that place. 

The dog was holding his food in his mouth and also hiding it from other dogs. But unfortunately, he met a group of dogs on his way. That group of dogs tried to snatch his food but somehow he managed to save his food from them and ran in the opposite direction. 

Now he was going home with it peacefully. On this way, he had to cross a bridge over the river to reach his home. The bridge was quite narrow and long but there was no other way to reach home except to cross the river through the bridge.  He started to walk on the bridge. While walking he thought he saw someone in the water.

He believed he saw another dog when he turned to look into the water.

The dog appeared to be the same as always, and he also had a piece of bone in his mouth.

His shadow was visible in the water. It was his shadow but he didn't understand it. 

"That piece of bone seems tasty. "I want it," the dog said.

"My piece is too little. That other dog's food will be taken by me. Thus, he barked at the opposing dog.

His piece of bone slipped into the water as he opened his mouth to bark.

The last thing he ever saw of it was when it emitted a "Splash!"

He said, "I shouldn't have lost my own piece of bone if I had let that dog keep his."

In this way, the dog lost his food due to his greediness.
