happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in thewater, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

Sucedió que un perro había conseguido un pedazo de carne y lo llevaba a casa en su boca para comer en paz. Ahora, en su camino a casa tenía que cruzar un tablón de mentir a través de un arroyo. Al cruzar, miró hacia abajo yvio su propia sombra reflejada en el agua por debajo. Pensando que era otro perro con otro pedazo de carne, él se decidió a tener eso también. Así que hizo un complemento a la sombra en el agua, pero cuando abrió la boca el trozo de carne se cayó, cayó al agua y nunca fue visto más.

At last, and at last, a teeny, tiny mouse poked its little head and bristles out of the gap and came running down towards them, and ever after they used to say:

"Much outcry, little outcome."
