经典励志英文小故事：狗和它的影子
It happened that a dog had some meat that he wanted to eat at home. On his way home he met a river. As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water.
"Just look!"said he to himself. "That dog down there has some meat, too. If I could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!"
With this thought, he made a snap at the other dog's meat. And as he did, his own meat fell into the water. So then he had nothing at all.
Then he saw that the other dog had lost his meat, too.
"That is as it should be!?thought he. "For I saw him trying to take my meat away from me."
By wanting to have everything, he has lost everything he had!

“看呐!”他自言自语道。“下面那条狗也衔着肉呢。如果我把他的抢走，今晚上一定可以美餐一顿了!”
这么想着，他就冲那只影子狗咬去，这时候他自己的肉掉进了水里。当然他什么也没有得到。
然后，他看到另一只狗的肉也没了。“活该!”他想，“因为我看到他想从我这里抢走我的肉。”
什么都想要，却失去了原来所拥有的!
