《The Dog and the Bone》封面

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.

一只狗嘴里叼着一块肉,正走过一座横跨小溪的木板桥,忽然看见了自己映在水中的影子。它以为那是另一只狗,嘴里叼着一块大一倍的肉,于是便松开自己嘴里的肉,扑向那只狗去抢那块更大的肉。可是结果当然是它两块都没得到,因为一块只是水中的影子,另一块则被水流冲走了。
