13 English Translation Title: A greedy little dog Author & Illustrator: Brenda Forbes Once there was a dog who lived with his master in a house. One day his master gave him a nice juicy bone. He ran away from home and said to himself, "If I take this bone back home, my brother might eat it." "I don't want to give it to anybody else. I want to eat it myself." So he didn't go home he ran away in the bush. "I ll have to hide my bone under a tree," he thought. "I'll come back later and eat it alone." The greedy little dog looked around for a good place to bury the bone. Then he walked over towards some water. He looked into the water and saw his image, but he thought to himself, "Maybe that's another dog, and he's got a bone too!" He looked down again at the other dog, and the dog looked back at him. Both dogs had a bone. "I'll have to get that bone," he thought to himself, "and then I'll have two bones." He opened his mouth to take the bone from the other dog, and "splash!" His bone fell into the water. The greedy little dog looked into the water again and saw that the other dog's bone was gone too. He didn't get two bones after all. Then he had to go home with no bone at all. 12
