Question

write a story about a dog who was trying to cross a stream of river with a boat in his mouth​

Answer 1

A Dog, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.

Moral

All covet, all lose.

Answer 2

TITLE : Greedy Dog Loses His Piece of Flesh

One day, a dog was crossing a stream. He had a piece of flesh in his mouth snatched from another dog. As he was crossing, he looked down on the water and saw another dog with a piece of flesh. It was, in fact, his own reflection. But he thought it to be another dog. He became greedy and wanted to have that piece of flesh too. He opened his mouth to bark. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the piece of flesh fell down into the water. He lost his own piece of meat in his attempt at getting more.

Moral : We should be complacent with what we have.
