The Wise Dog and the Tricky Reflection

Characters:

• Danny the Dog

• Ricky the Rabbit 

(Danny the Dog is walking near a pond and notices his reflection.)

Danny: (excitedly) Hey, look at that shiny dog in the water! I wonder who it is.

(Ricky the Rabbit hops by and sees Danny.)

Ricky: Hi Danny! What are you so happy about?

Danny: (pointing to the reflection) Look, Ricky! There's another dog in the water. I'm going to say hi!

Ricky: (smirking) That's your reflection, Danny. It won't say hi back.

(Danny looks closer at the reflection and sees a bone in its mouth.)

Danny: (greedily) Oh, there's a bone! I want that bone.

(Danny decides to grab the bone from the reflection, but it disappears when he reaches the water.)

Danny: (confused) Where did the bone go?

Ricky: (laughing) Danny, it was just a reflection. You can't grab things from it. You see, Danny, the fable teaches us not to be greedy and appreciate what we have.

Danny: (reflecting) You're right, Ricky. I should be grateful for the things I already have. Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson, Ricky.

Ricky: Anytime, Danny. Friends help each other, and sometimes they teach important lessons too.
