狗和影子
The Dog and the Shadow

A dog was crossing a bridge with a piece of meat in his mouth.
一只狗嘴里叼着一块肉,正在过桥。

As he looked down into the water, he saw his own reflection.
当他低头看水时,他看到自己的倒影。

Thinking it was another dog with a larger piece of meat, he decided to grab it.
他以为那是另一只叼着更大块肉的狗,于是决定去抢那块肉。

He opened his mouth to bark at the "other dog," and his own meat fell into the river.
他张嘴对着“另一只狗”吠叫,结果自己嘴里的肉掉进了河里。

The dog watched helplessly as the meat was carried away by the current.
他眼睁睁地看着肉被水流冲走,毫无办法。

He realized too late that his greed had cost him everything.
他太晚才明白,是自己的贪心让他失去了所有。

Moral: Greed often leads to loss.
寓意:贪婪常常导致失去。
