  It happened that a dog had some meat that he wanted to eat at home. On his way home he met a river. As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water.
             一只狗叼著肉打算回家去吃。在回家的路上他遇到一條河。他朝河里望去，看見水中自己的影子。

             "Just look!"said he to himself. "That dog down there has some meat, too. If I could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!"
             “看吶！”他自言自語道。“下面那條狗也銜著肉呢。如果我把他的搶走，今晚上一定可以美餐一頓了！”

             With this thought, he made a snap at the other dog's meat. And as he did, his own meat fell into the water. So then he had nothing at all.
             這么想著，他就沖那只影子狗咬去，這時候他自己的肉掉進(jìn)了水里。當(dāng)然他什么也沒有得到。

             Then he saw that the other dog had lost his meat, too. "That is as it should be!?thought he. "For I saw him trying to take my meat away from me."
             然后，他看到另一只狗的肉也沒了。“活該！”他想，“因為我看到他想從我這里搶走我的肉。”

             By wanting to have everything, he has lost everything he had!
             什么都想要，卻失去了原來所擁有的！
