Once upon a time, there was a dog that had found a large juicy bone. With the bone tightly gripped in its mouth, the dog decided to head back to its lair to enjoy the delicious meal in peace.
On its way home, the dog had to cross a narrow wooden bridge that spanned over a quiet stream. As the dog walked carefully across the bridge, it happened to look down into the water below. To its surprise, it saw the reflection of another dog in the water, gripping what appeared to be an even larger and juicier bone in its mouth.
Overcome with greed, the dog decided it wanted that bone as well. It thought that if it could have both bones, it would be twice as happy. Without giving it a second thought, the dog let out a fierce bark, hoping to scare the other dog into dropping its bone.
However, as the dog opened its mouth to bark, the bone it was holding fell into the stream below. The dog watched in horror as its precious meal was carried away by the current. It looked back down into the water and saw the other dog and its bone disappear as well, realizing too late that it had only been a reflection.
One bright afternoon, a hungry dog found a big, juicy bone. His tail wagged with joy as he picked it up. "What a lucky day!" he thought, firmly holding the bone in his mouth. He couldn’t wait to find a quiet spot to enjoy his tasty treat.
As he walked home, he reached a wooden bridge over a clear, gentle stream. The water sparkled in the sun. Curious, he looked down and gasped.
Below, another dog was staring back at him, holding a bone that looked even bigger and juicier! The dog’s eyes grew wide with excitement. "That bone looks better than mine!" he thought. "I want both!"
Without thinking, he barked loudly, "Woof!" trying to scare the other dog away.
But as he opened his mouth, plop! His bone slipped from his teeth and fell into the stream. He watched in shock as it sank into the water and floated away.
The dog leaned over the edge of the bridge, trying to grab his bone, but it was too late. It was gone. When he looked back at the water, the other dog had disappeared, too.
It wasn’t another dog at all. It had only been his own reflection!
With a heavy heart, the dog turned and walked away. He wished he had been happy with what he had, instead of trying to get more.
A dog finds a bone. It is big and tasty. The dog is happy. It walks home with the bone in its mouth.
On the way, the dog crosses a bridge over a river. The dog looks down and sees another dog in the water. That dog has a bone too. It looks bigger.
The dog wants the other bone. It opens its mouth to bark. But when it opens its mouth, the bone falls into the river.
The dog watches the bone go away. The dog is sad. There is no other dog. It was just a reflection.
Now, the dog has no bone.

Once upon a time, in a land filled with chuckling chickens and disco-dancing daisies, there was a dog, let's call him a "gourmet explorer," with a bone. And oh boy, this wasn't just any bone. It was a juicy, large, and what one might call a "five-star Michelin-rated" bone.
With this culinary masterpiece clamped tightly in his mouth, the dog strutted towards his lair, dreaming of feasting in peace, perhaps even with a spot of mustard. But first, he had to cross a narrow wooden bridge, which happened to be the main stage for "The Grand Squirrel Acrobatics Show." It spanned over a quiet stream, quite famous for its fish that wore top hats, naturally.
Now, as our hero, the dog, tiptoed across the bridge, he peered into the water below. What's this? Another dog with a bone! And not just any bone, but one that looked larger and even juicier. It was like his bone, but with extra pizzazz and maybe even a sprinkle of garlic.
"Gosh, that's unfair!" thought the dog. "Two bones are better than one; that's just basic dog mathematics."
Now, being a dog of ambition, he decided he wanted both bones, because why have one luxurious meal when you can have a banquet? He pondered the situation. "If I bark loud enough," he reasoned, "I'll scare that other fellow, and the bone will be mine. A bit of fright, a dash of might, and voila, dinner for two nights!"
And so, with the enthusiasm of a cat at a laser pointer convention, the dog opened his mouth and let out a bark that would have made even the bravest postman jump. But in his haste, he dropped his bone into the stream below!
"What in the world of wagging tails?" he gasped, as he watched his precious bone float away, like a lost dream of unlimited belly rubs.
He looked down again and, to his dismay, saw the other dog and its bone vanish too. It dawned on him that the other dog was merely a reflection, a trick played by the mirror-like water.
"A reflection? Oh, paws and whiskers, I've been had!" he muttered, feeling as silly as a porcupine at a balloon party.
And so, our dog returned home, without his bone, but with a valuable lesson learned: that sometimes, what we already have is quite enough, and there's no need to bark up the wrong tree.
In a sunny land with a gentle breeze,
Lived a crafty dog who aimed to please.
He found a big bone, oh so divine,
A tasty treasure he was glad was all mine!
Off to his home, he did bound,
Crossing a bridge with water all around.
A narrow wooden path, his paws did tread,
And what he saw next filled him with dread.
In the stream below, so calm and so bright,
Another dog appeared, oh what a sight!
In its mouth, a bone, bigger and fair,
The dog on the bridge could only stare.
"Grrr, I want that too!" he thought with a grin,
"I'll bark and I'll scare him, that bone I will win!"
So with a loud bark, he opened his jaw,
But oh, what a mistake, what a flaw!
His bone, once held so firm and so tight,
Fell into the stream and out of sight.
The other dog vanished, the big bone as well,
And the bridge-crossing dog felt not at all swell.
For the dog in the water, so clear and so true,
Was just a reflection, something he knew.
His greed had cost him, and he learned that day,
That wanting too much can take what you have away.
So off he went, with a whimper and frown,
A lesson learned as the sun went down.
And the next time he found a treat to adore,
He remembered the bridge and asked for no more.
Full of tasty liquid, fresh and delicious.
Holding something strongly without letting go.
Wanting to know or see something new.
Took a quick breath in surprise or shock.
A feeling of great happiness and energy.
To make someone feel afraid or nervous.
Fell or moved suddenly by accident.
A sudden feeling of great surprise.
Stayed on top of water without sinking.
A picture of something seen in a mirror.
A hard part animals have inside.
Something very good to eat or enjoy.
The part of the face used to eat.
Goes from one side to another side.
Something to walk over water or road.
A picture of yourself in water or glass.
The loud sound a dog makes.
Drops down from a higher place.
A big, flowing water that moves.
Feeling not happy, feeling bad.
Full of tasty liquid, fresh and delicious.
Holding something strongly without letting go.
Wanting to know or see something new.
Took a quick breath in surprise or shock.
A feeling of great happiness and energy.
To make someone feel afraid or nervous.
Fell or moved suddenly by accident.
A sudden feeling of great surprise.
Stayed on top of water without sinking.
A picture of something seen in a mirror.
