Once upon a time, in a quiet little town, lived a dog named Sparky. He was known for his greed for food, especially bones. One bright sunny day, Sparky found a juicy, meaty bone in the trash. His eyes lit up, and he grabbed it immediately, thinking about the delight he would have devouring it.

As Sparky was heading home, he had to cross a narrow wooden bridge. He trotted over it, his tail wagging in excitement while he held the bone tightly in his mouth.

Halfway across the bridge, Sparky looked down and saw his reflection in the calm river below. He noticed the bone in the reflection's mouth and thought it was another dog with a bigger bone.

His greed got the better of him. He wanted that bigger bone too! So, he decided to scare the other dog away. He growled at his reflection, showing his teeth, ready to attack.

As soon as Sparky opened his mouth to growl, the bone slipped from his mouth and fell into the river. He watched in horror as his precious bone was carried away by the current.

Sparky desperately tried to catch the bone, but it was too late. The bone had disappeared under the water. He looked at his reflection again, but this time, there was no bone.
