The Dog and the Shadow
An Aesop Fable A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water, and took it for another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own size. He therefore let go his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog, to get his largest piece from him. He thus lost botn - that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow, and his own, because the stream swept it away.
