Sampul The Dog and the Bone

A Dog was crossing a plank bridge over a stream with a piece of meat in his mouth, when he happened to see his own reflection in the water. He thought it was another dog with a piece of meat twice as big; so he let go his own, and flew at the other dog to get the larger piece. But, of course, all that happened was that he got neither; for one was only a shadow, and the other was carried away by the current.

Seekor Anjing sedang menyeberangi jembatan papan di atas sungai dengan sepotong daging di mulutnya, ketika ia kebetulan melihat bayangannya sendiri di dalam air. Ia mengira itu adalah anjing lain dengan sepotong daging yang dua kali lebih besar; maka ia melepaskan miliknya sendiri, dan menerkam anjing lain itu untuk merebut potongan yang lebih besar. Namun, tentu saja, yang terjadi hanyalah ia tidak mendapatkan keduanya; sebab yang satu hanyalah bayangan, dan yang lain terbawa arus.
