A dog lived in a village. He was always looking for something to eat because he was very greedy.
He always wandered here and there in search of food, never filled his stomach.
Once upon a time, he was wandering around in search of food as usual, but he could not find food anywhere.
In the end, he saw a piece of bone outside a hotel, he quickly grabbed that piece in the mouth and thought to go somewhere in solitude and have fun eating it.
He was very happy and wanted to eat it sitting alone, so ran away from there with a piece of bone in the forest. But he was not alone there.

So he continued the search of a secluded place.
While searching for a secluded place, he reached a river.
There was a breeze on the river. Going to the other bank of the river, the dog peeped into the river, then suddenly he saw his shadow in the river.
He could not understand that it is his shadow, he felt that there is another dog in the water, which also has a piece of bone in its mouth.
That greedy dog thought why not take a piece of it too. If it also gets a piece of bone, then the enjoyment of eating will be doubled.
He barked loudly at that shadow.

A piece of bone pressed into his mouth fell into the river due to barking. Now he lost his piece too.
He understood then that what he thought was another dog, that is his own shadow. In the greed of excess, he lost what he had. Now he was very sorry and hung back and came back to the village.
Moral :-
Greed is a bad thing. Do not be tempted It is bad to snatch things from others. Greed snatches our happiness, so one must rely on our hard work and take satisfaction in whatever is achieved through hard work. If we covet, then we may have to wash our hands even more than we have.
