Once upon a time, in a small town lived a very greedy dog named Rufus. One day, while rummaging through the garbage, Rufus found a big, juicy bone. His eyes sparkled with joy and his mouth watered at the sight of it.

Rufus immediately grabbed the bone and ran back to his place. He wanted to make sure no other dog got a whiff of his treasure. He relished the taste, licking and chewing it with great delight.

As Rufus sat contentedly with his bone, he noticed his reflection in a nearby pool of water. He was startled, thinking another dog was trying to steal his bone.

Overcome by greed, Rufus decided to snatch the bone from the 'other dog'. He barked fiercely and jumped into the water, but the 'other dog' disappeared.

Rufus was confused. He searched around but found no other dog. He then looked into the water and understood his mistake.

Rufus felt foolish for his greed. He had lost his precious bone because of it. He promised himself he would not be so greedy in the future.

From that day forward, Rufus learned to be content with what he had. He no longer hoarded bones, instead sharing with other dogs.

Rufus became known for his generosity and kindness, a change that made him happier than any bone ever could.
