    In a lush green village, there lived a small dog named Bruno. Every day, Bruno would wander around the village, climb hills, cross rivers, and walk through the streets looking for food. He would return home happily once he had found something to eat.

    One day, Bruno found a large bone with some juicy meat on it. The sight of it made his mouth water. He picked it up between his teeth and decided to take it home to savor it.

    On his way back home, as he was crossing the river, Bruno saw another dog carrying food in his mouth. Bruno's eyes sparkled with greed at the sight of more food.

    Being a greedy dog, Bruno decided to snatch the food from the other dog. He thought that having more food would make him even happier.

    The moment Bruno opened his mouth to attack the other dog, the large bone slipped from his mouth and fell into the river. Bruno watched helplessly as his precious bone was swept away by the river's current.

    The other dog, scared by Bruno's sudden aggression, ran away quickly and disappeared from sight. Bruno was left standing alone by the river, his mouth empty and his stomach rumbling.
