This fable is from Aesop's fables...
The Dog and the Shadow
There was dog lived in a village. It happened when the Dog had got a piece
of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his
way of home he had to cross a piece of wood lying across a running stream. When
he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water underneath.
Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to
have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened
his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and it was never
seen more.
The moral of the
story:
Beware you can lose the thing what you get by grasping at
the greediness.
