KOIRA JA VARJO
THE DOG AND THE SHADOW
-
Ollessaan juuri menossa puron poikki, hyvä lihapala suussa, koira oli näkevinään veden alla toisen koiran, joka oli samassa puuhassa.
As he was just crossing a brook, with a fine piece of meat in his mouth, the dog thought he saw another dog under the water, engaged in the very same business.
-
Sen mieleen ei johtunut, että siellä oli vain sen oma kuva.
It did not cross his mind that it was only his own reflection.
-
Ahneudessaan se tahtoi ryöstää toiselta koiralta lihapalan, syöksyi hampaat irvissä päistikkaa veteen ja menetti omankin palansa.
In his greed, he wanted to snatch the piece of meat from the other dog, plunged headlong into the water with bared teeth, and lost his own piece as well.
