Once a stray dog while searching for food came to a butcher's shop.
There he saw a bone with some meat on it.
So, he lifted it and ran to a safe place where he could enjoy it at ease.
After chewing the bone for a while, he became quite thirsty.
So, he went to a river to quench his thirst.
Worried that some other dog might find the bone
and take it away, he took it with him.
By chance, he saw his reflection in the water from over the bridge.
He didn't understand that it was his his own reflection.
He thought it was another dog with a bone in it's mouth.

He thought it was another dog with a bone in it's mouth.
Being greedy by nature, he wanted the other dog's bone too.
So, he barked at the other dog, hoping to scare it into giving him that bone.
But alas! The bone that he held in its mouth fell into the river and it was lost.
Moral of the story
It is very foolish to be greedy.
