太贪心会“偷鸡不成倒蚀把米”哦！

A dog found a bone and held it1)tightlyin his mouth. He2)growledand3)scowledat anyone who tried to take it away. Off into the woods he went to hide his prize.

8)Alas! His own big bone fell into the water andwent out of sight,justat the momenthe opened his mouth to bite!

一只狗发现了一根骨头。他把骨头紧紧地咬在嘴里。如果谁要来抢他的骨头，他就会怒视着对方，发出低吼。最后，他走进了树林，要把自己的战利品藏起来。

狗来到了小溪旁，当他小跑过桥时，恰好瞥见了水中自己的倒影。他以为水里是另一只叼着更大骨头的狗，于是他对着倒影龇牙咧嘴、低吼连连。倒影也面露凶光，予以还击。

“那根骨头我也要得到，”贪婪的狗想着，随即露出尖牙向水中的狗咬去。

唉！就在他张口咬去时，他的骨头掉进了水里，不见了！
