The Greedy Dog:

سگ حریص:

One day, a dog stole a big piece of meat and proud of his own courage, ran off with it, held tightly in his jaws.

یک روز سگی تکه گوشت بزرگی را دزدید و به شجاعت خود افتخار کرد و با آن فرار کرد و در آرواره هایش محکم گرفت.

He reached the bank of the river where he looked down and spied another dog with a piece of meat in its mouth, every bit as big as his own.

او به ساحل رودخانه رسید و به پایین نگاه کرد و سگ دیگری را که تکه‌ای گوشت در دهانش داشت، به اندازه سگ خودش جاسوسی کرد.

He did not realize that it was merely his own reflection in the water. Feeling greedy he threw himself on the other dog to steal his meat as well.

او متوجه نشد که این فقط انعکاس خودش در آب است. با احساس حرص خود را روی سگ دیگر انداخت تا گوشت او را نیز بدزدد.

Unfortunately, when he found himself in the water, he had to let go of his own piece of meat to avoid drowning and so was left with nothing.

متأسفانه وقتی خودش را در آب دید، مجبور شد برای جلوگیری از غرق شدن، تکه گوشت خود را رها کند و به همین دلیل چیزی نداشت.

"So, greediness proved a curse to him."

پس طمع بر او لعنت شد».
