Aesop's Fables (Usborne)

Today I read Aesop's Fables.


My favorite story is
  "The dog and the bone"


This story is about a greed dog.

One day, a dog stole a big bone from the shop.
 The dog ran away far from the shop. And, the dog acrossed the bride. At that time, the dog was reflected in the water, a big bone too. The dog wanted to gain a reflected bone. Because, it looked bigger than his.
 So, the dog barked his mouth to catch a reflected bone. As a result, the dog couldn't catch a refrected bone, and what was worse, his bone slipped out. Sadly, The dog lost a big bone. At that time, the dog noticed that a refrected bone was fake. And now there was no bone either.

My flavour sentense is
      "Be happy with what you have."

 This is similar to proverb in Japan,
  　　　" 二兎追うものは一兎も得ず"
 There is no use in hoping a lot of things.

So, we should satisfy what we have.
