The Story: A Dog is walking home with a piece of meat in his mouth. On his way home he crosses a river and looks into the water. He mistakes his own reflection for another Dog and wants his meat also. But as he opens his mouth, the meat falls into the river and is never seen again.

The Lesson: It is foolish to be greedy. Everyone wants more! Of course we always strive to be better and have bigger things. But it’s important to reflect on the things you do have and not take them for granted. Because one day you might end up with nothing but regrets of things you could have done.

Có 1 chú chó đang trên đường về nhà với miếng thịt trong miệng. Trong khi lội qua sông nó đã nhìn xuống dòng nước và thấy một con chó cũng có một miếng thịt như nó. Nhưng khi nó mở miệng ra thì miếng thịt rơi xuống nước và không thể lấy lại được nữa, còn chú chó dưới mặt nước thực chất là cái bóng của nó. Bài học : Đừng tham lam, tất cả mọi người đều muốn nhiều hơn. Thế nhưng cần phải biết trân trọng những gì mình có bởi một ngày bạn sẽ không còn gì cả mà chỉ hối tiếc những việc mình đã có thể làm.

There were two friends who were walking across a desert.

While they were walking, they got into an ugly argument and out of anger one of them slapped the other on the face.

The one who was slapped, though was hurt he did not say anything and quietly wrote over the sand 'I am hurt because today my friend hit me on my face'.

They resumed walking and kept walking until they came across an oasis.

They decided to take a bath in the oasis then.

While they were taking the bath, the one who had got slapped started drowning.

The other friend came to rescue and save him.

After he got rescued, he wrote on the stone 'Today I was saved by my best friend'.

The other friend asked him, 'Why did you write on the sand when I slapped you while you wrote on the stone when I saved you?'

Upon this, the other friend replied that it's better we write on the sand when your friend hurts you as it will be gone with the wind but write it on a stone when your friend does something good to you so that it could be engraved forever.

Moral of the Story: Your friend always sees the brighter side of you! And your friend will always come to rescue you in any circumstance!
