The Man who told Animals stories 1 page 8-9

Many many years ago there was a man named Aesop who liked to tell stories about animals that acted very much the way some people do. Here's a story he told about a greedy dog. A dog had a piece of meat in his mouth and was carrying it home. On the way he had to cross a stream. And as looked into the water he saw his reflection. Thinking that it was another dog with a piece of meat he made up his mind to have that piece too. So he snapped at the meat he saw in the water.
