one day dog was wondering around looking for food. He spied a butcher's shop and went quickly in and stole a nice fat juicy bone from the shelf. Happily munching on the bone he went into the forest he soon came across a bridge as he crossed the bridge he looked down into the river and lo and behold what did he see he saw another dog exactly like him holding a bone in his mouth. The greedy dog decided that he wanted that bone too So he growled hoping that the other dog would drop the bone out of fear he would then grab the other bone and run away with two bones. As he gave out a loud snarl to scare off the other dog the bone fell from his mouth lost forever The dog in his greed has taken his own reflection in the river for another dog carrying a bone. he realized his folly too late and walked away hungry and sad but perhaps a little wiser.--Dorothee Beermann 14:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

ONE DAY A DOG WAS WANDERING AROUND LOOKING FOR FOOD. HE SPIED A BUTHCHERS SHOP AND WENT QUICKLY IN AND STOLE A NICE FAT JUICY BONE FROM THE SHELVE. HAPPILY MUNCHING ON THE BONE, HE RUNS INTO THE FOREST. HE SOON CAME ACROSS A BRIDGE, AS HE CROSSED THE BRIDGE, HE LOOKED DOWN INTO THE RIVER AND LO AND BEHOLD WHAT DID HE SEE? HE SAW ANOTHER DOG EXACTLY AS HIM HOLDING A BONE IN HIS MOUTH. THE GREEDY DOG DECIDED THAT, HE WANTED THAT BONE TOO, SO HE GROWLED, HOPING THAT THE OTHER DOG IN THE RIVER WILL DROP THE BONE OUT OF FEAR, HE WILL THEN GRAB THE OTHER BONE AND RUN AWAY WITH TWO BONES. BUT AS HE GAVE OUT A LAST SNORE TO SCARE OFF THE OTHER DOG, THE BONE FELL FROM HIS MOUTH INTO THE RIVER, LOST FOREVER. THE DOG IN HIS GREED, HAS MISTAKEN HIS OWN REFLECTION IN THE RIVER FOR ANOTHER DOG CARRYING A BONE. HE REALISED FOLLY TOO LATE AND WALK AWAY HUNGRY AND SAD BUT PERHAPS A LITTLE WISER. --Jacqueline Ofosu-Appiah 14:10, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Én dag, gikk en hund å vandret rundt på leting etter mat. Han spanet et slakterhus og smatt raskt inn og stjal et stort, fint, saftig bein fra hyllen. Mens han tygget lykkelig på beinet sprang han inn i skogen. Straks kom han over en bro. Da han krysset broen tittet han ned i elva og skulle man ha sett hva fikk han se. Han så en annen hund nøyaktig lik ham som holdt et bein i munnen sin. Den grådige hunden bestemte seg for at han ville ha dét beinet óg så han knurret i håpet om at den andre hunden i elva skulle miste beinet ut av frykt. Han ville dermed snappe til seg det andre beinet og springe vekk med to bein men da han startet å snerre for å skremme bort den andre hunden glapp beinet ut av munnen hans og inn i elva borte for alltid. Hunden i hans grådighet hadde forevekslet hans eget speilbilde i elva for en annen hund med et bein. Han oppdaget hans dårskap for sent og gikk videre sulten og trist men muligens litt visere.

Ein dag var ein hund på leiting etter mat. han såg ein slaktar, og stal eit saftig bein frå hylla. medan han lykkeleg togg på beinet, laup han inn i skogen, og kom snart overfor ei bru. medan han gjekk over brua, såg han ned i elva. Kva såg han? Han såg ein annan hund lik ham sjølv, med eit bein i munnen. Den grådige hunden ønskte beinet, så han knurra og vona hunden skulle sleppe beinet i frykt. Så skulle han ta beinet, og dra i veg med to bein. I det han knurra for å skremme hunden, fall beinet i elva, borte for alltid. Hunden hadde i sin grådigheit forveksla refleksjonen sin med ein annan hund med bein. Han innsåg mistaket for seint, og drog svolten og trist, men kanskje klokare.

En dag, vandret en hund rundt og lette etter mat. Han så en slakterbutikk, og gikk raskt inn og stjal et fint, saftig kjøttbein fra hyllen. Mens han lykkelig tygde på beinet, løp han inn i skogen. Snart kom han til en bro. Mens han krysset broen, så han ned i elva, og ser man det, hva så han? Han så en annen hund, akkurat som seg selv, som holdt et bein i munnen. Den grådige hunden fant ut at han ville ha det beinet òg. Han knurret, i håp om at den andre hunden i elva ville slippe beinet i frykt. Han ville da ta det andre beinet, å løpe unna med to bein. Men da han snerret høyt for å skremme den andre hunden, falt beinet ut av munnen og inn i elva, borte for alltid. Hunden, i sin grådighet, hadde forvekslet sitt eget speilbilde i elva med en annen hund med et kjøttbein. Han innså sitt feiltak for sent, og vandret bort sulten og trist, men kanskje litt visere.
