Once, a dog stole a piece of meat from a butcher’s shop. The dog ran off with it in his mouth. On his way, there was a narrow stream. The stream was bridged over by a plank placed across it. As the dog was on the plank, he happened to look down. He saw his own image on the clear water below. He took it for another piece of meat. “I must fight that out and get his piece.” said he. “I am so hungry.” In fact it was his own shadow and not another dog. As he opened his mouth to bark at his own shadow, the piece of meat felt down from his mouth. It dropped into the stream. He jumped into the water at once to get back his piece of meat. Much as he searched for it by diving and swimming, it was lost forever. Forever, it was carried away by the current of the stream.
