"❁the dog and his reflection

a dog was walking through the forest and picked up a piece of meat that a fox had left behind. while walking with it in his mouth near a creek, he saw another dog in the water with another piece of meat. he was not aware that it was his own reflection and not really another dog. 

so, wishing to have the other piece of meat along with the one he had already acquired, not satisfied with only his own, he opened his mouth to grab it. but the meat fell into the water and it drifted away in the creek until he could not see it anymore. so he remained hungry for the rest of the day because of his greed.

if you are not content with what you have, you may lose everything in the end.
