The Dog and the Shadow

Out from the market, a dog was ruing fast. In his mouth was a bone. Ha-Ha! He would surely have a hearty meal.
On his way home, however, he had to cross a small wooden bridge across a brook.
But as he was crossing, he saw his own shadow in the water below.
He thought, "I must have that bone, too."
He barked at his own shadow. And the bone in his mouth fell into the water... gone forever.

سگ و سایه

حکایت کنند روزی سگی طعام (استخوان) بر دهان و پای کوبان مشغول دویدن به سمت خانه ی خویش بود که به رودخانه ای زلال آب رسید. هنگام عبور از پل چوبی روی رودخانه به ناگه عکس خویشتن را بر آب دید.

با خود گفت: "اون استخونم باید ماله من باشه."

سگ شروع به پارس بر سایه ی خویش کرد که ناگهان استخوان خودش بر آب فتاد و از کف برفت!
