在一个阳光明媚的日子里,小狗汤姆叼着一块美味的肉,穿过了一条清澈的小河。
他看着水中的倒影,看到了另一只看起来和他一样的狗,也叼着一块肉,但那块肉似乎更大更诱人。
汤姆开始想,如果我能把那块更大的肉抢过来,我就可以吃两份了!
于是,他决定采取行动。
他跳进水中,向着那个倒影扑去,想要夺走那块想象中的大肉。
然而,当他张开嘴巴去咬的时候,发现水中那只狗和那块大肉都不见了。
原来,那只是他的倒影而已。
而在这场混乱中,原本他叼在嘴里的那块肉也被水流冲走了。
可怜的汤姆最后什么都没得到,只能饿着肚子回家。
这个故事告诉我们,贪婪是不会有好结果的。
我们应该满足于我们所拥有的,并珍惜它,而不是总是渴望更多。
On a sunny day, little dog Tom was carrying a delicious piece of meat in his mouth as he crossed a clear stream.
He looked at the reflection in the water and saw another dog that looked just like him, also carrying a piece of meat, but it seemed bigger and more tempting.
Tom began to think, if I could grab that bigger piece of meat, I could have two servings!
So he decided to take action.
He jumped into the water and lunged towards the reflection, trying to snatch the imaginary big piece of meat.
But when he opened his mouth to bite, he found that the other dog and the big piece of meat in the water had disappeared.
It turned out to be just his reflection.
And in the chaos, the piece of meat he had originally been carrying in his mouth was washed away by the current.
Poor Tom ended up with nothing and had to go home hungry.
This story tells us that greed does not bring good results.
We should be content with what we have and cherish it, rather than always craving for more.
