狗兒和影子 伊索著 江銘輝譯
狗兒嘴裡咬著一塊肉，正經過一座河流上端的橋，看見水裡自己的影子，以為是另一隻狗，狗嘴裡的肉有牠的二倍大。
因此牠奮不顧身兇猛的攻擊那隻狗，想從牠身上將那塊較大的肉搶過來。因此牠二者都沒有了。河裡的那塊牠急著搶的，原本就是牠的影子，而牠自己咬的肉也被河水沖走了。
THE DOG AND THE SHADOW
A Dog, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water, and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He therefore let go his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog, to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.
