The Dog and the Shadow.

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:Beware lest you lose the substance 
by grasping at the shadow.


Reflection: Contentment is always essential. You should be content with what you have. Taking risks because of greed can only pull you down. Appreciate the things you already have. Looking for a bigger fish to catch gets you nowhere. When I was still in elementary, I was always active during school activities. I was supposed to join the duet competitions during one of the school camps but my other self also wanted to join the storytelling contest. I joined both. I was unprepared. You already know what’s next.
