Greed begets sin,Sin begets Death

Once a dog stale a piece of meat from a shop.Holding it in his mouth,he was running beside a stream.When the dog was crossing a bridge over the stream,it discovered an image in the water.He thought that it must be another dog with another piece of meat in its mouth.he thought and thought what to do.He was very greedy.So,he became easily tempted to see it and wanted to get it.He wished to have the shadow of the meat and jumped upon his own shadow with a loud bark.As soon as he opened his mouth,the piece of meat dropped from his mouth and was taken away by the current of the stream.Thus the greedy dog lost his own piece of meat as well as the one he wanted to snatch.He felt sorry for his greediness.But it was too late to rectify his fault.He could not manage to come out of the water and was washed away by the strong current of the river.He lost his life because he was a greedy.In spite of his having a piece of meat,he wanted to snatch the other dog's meat to have more.His greediness made him so blind that he even could not understand that the other dog was nothing but his own shadow.So,finally he met his doom..
