"Greedy Dog" is a fable about a dog that finds a bone and, while crossing a bridge, sees its reflection in the water. Mistakenly believing the reflection is another dog with a bigger bone, the greedy dog tries to snatch it, ultimately dropping its own bone into the water. The story illustrates the dangers of greed and the importance of being content with what one has, as the dog's desire for more leads to losing everything.

What is morals of story A Greedy dog?

nce there lived a dog. He was very greedy. There were many times that he had to pay for his greed. Each time the dog promised himself, "I have learnt my lesson. Now I will never be greedy again." But he soon forgot his promises and was as greedy as ever. One afternoon, the dog was terribly hungry. He decided to go look for something to eat. Just outside his house, there was a bridge. "I will go and look for food on the other side of the bridge. The food there is definitely better," he thought to himself. He walked across the wooden bridge and started sniffing around for food. Suddenly, he spotted a bone lying at a distance. "Ah, I am in luck. This looks a delicious bone," he said. Without wasting any time, the hungry dog picked up the bone and was just about to eat it, when he thought, "Somebody might see here with this bone and then I will have to share it with them. So, I had better go home and eat it." Holding the bone in his mouth, he ran towards his house. While crossing the wooden bridge, the dog looked down into the river. There he saw his own reflection. The foolish dog mistook it for another dog. "There is another dog in the water with bone in its mouth," he thought. Greedy, as he was, he thought, "How nice it would be to snatch that piece of bone as well. Then, I will have two bones." So, the greedy dog looked at his reflection and growled. The reflection growled back, too. This made the dog angry. He looked down at his reflection and barked, "Woof! Woof!" As he opened his mouth, the bone in his mouth fell into the river. It was only when the water splashed that the greedy dog realized that what he had seen was nothing but his own reflections and not another dog. But it was too late. He had lost the piece of bone because of his greed. Now he had to go hungry. Moral: Greed brings about disaster.
