English Original
Once there was a dog who stole a piece of meat from a butcher's shop. As he was crossing a narrow bridge over a stream on his way home, he looked down and saw his own reflection in the water.
Mistaking it for another dog holding a larger piece of meat, he greedily tried to snatch it. He barked and lunged at the shadow. In doing so, he dropped his own meat into the water and lost everything.

从前有一只狗，从肉铺偷了一块肉。在回家的路上，它经过一座横跨小溪的窄桥时，低头看到了水中自己的倒影。
它误以为那是另一只叼着更大块肉的狗，便贪婪地试图抢夺。它对着影子吠叫并扑了过去。结果，它把自己的肉掉进了水里，失去了一切。
