He saw the reflection of his own shadow is the translucent (clear) water of the stream.

Anyway, he thought another dog would leave without delay, he ran to another dog quickly. Thus let by temptation, he forgot about the piece of bone of his mouth.

He saw that the piece of bone of another dog also dropped into the water as like as him. Then he realized that it was his own shadow.

He said to himself, "Alas! have lost my piece of bone. If I did not run after the dog, it would not happen. Now, nothing can be done, having lost his own piece of bone, the dog went disappointed. awa
