The Dog And His Image. – Jean De La Fontaine Fables

There he saw another one.
A foolish Dog, who carried in his jaw

A juicy bone,
Looked down into a stream, and there he saw
Another one,
Splash! In he plunged… The image disappeared–

The meat he had was gone.
Indeed, he nearly sank,
And barely reached the bank.

Dunce.
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks
