Sampul The Dog and His Reflection

A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go.

Seekor Anjing, yang telah dilempari tulang oleh tukang daging, sedang bergegas pulang membawa hadiahnya secepat mungkin.

As he crossed a narrow bridge, he looked down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water below. Thinking it was another dog with another bone, he made up his mind to have that one also.

Saat ia menyeberangi jembatan sempit, ia menunduk dan melihat bayangannya sendiri di air tenang di bawahnya. Mengira itu adalah anjing lain dengan tulang lain, ia bertekad untuk merebut tulang itu juga.

So he snapped greedily at the reflection. But as he opened his mouth, his own bone fell out, dropped into the water, and was never seen again.

Maka ia menggigit bayangan itu dengan rakus. Namun begitu ia membuka mulutnya, tulangnya sendiri terjatuh, tenggelam ke dalam air, dan tak pernah terlihat lagi.

It is very foolish to be greedy.

Sangat bodoh untuk menjadi rakus.
