A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go.
Seekor Anjing, yang telah dilempari tulang oleh tukang daging, bergegas pulang dengan hadiahnya secepat mungkin.
As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror.
Ketika
dia menyeberangi jembatan sempit, dia kebetulan melihat ke bawah dan
melihat dirinya terpantul dalam air yang tenang seolah-olah di cermin.
But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.
Tetapi Anjing yang tamak itu berpikir bahwa dia melihat seekor Anjing yang nyata membawa tulang yang jauh lebih besar daripada miliknya.
If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of
thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only
to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore.
Jika
dia berhenti untuk berpikir dia akan tahu lebih baik. Tetapi alih-alih
berpikir, ia menjatuhkan tulangnya dan melompat ke arah Anjing di
sungai, hanya untuk mendapati dirinya berenang demi hidup untuk mencapai pantai.
At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking
about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a stupid Dog he had
been.
Akhirnya dia berhasil keluar, dan ketika dia
berdiri dengan sedih memikirkan tulang yang enak yang telah hilang, dia
menyadari betapa bodohnya dia.
