The Greedy Dog

Once, a dog with a large piece of bone held tightly in his jaws was on his way to a safe place where he could eat and enjoy it uninterrupted.

He had to cross a footbridge over a clear stream. From the footbridge, he looked down and saw his own reflection.

Thinking that it was another dog having just a big a piece of bone in his mouth, the greedy dog jumped into the stream to have that bone also.

The greedy dog didn't realize that water crated reflection, and he had seen his own image.

But by then it was too late. He began gasping for air and opened his mouth in the process.

As a result, he was deprived of what he already had in his possession.he somehow managed to come out of the stream and save his life.

it is rightly said-'A bird in hand is worth two in the bush,'
