THE GLUTTONOUS MONGREL

                                 (JAI MA KALI)
         GLUTTONOUS MONGREL
         .....................................
   Once there was a vagabond mongrel who was as gluttonous as a pig.One day he pilfered a large slice of  mutton from a butcher's shop.He skedaddled with the booty to a safe place.Arriving at the bank of a stream,he tarried there for a while to rest.He was about to chomp on the nosh when he saw the reflection of his image in the clear water of the stream.
    He mistook it to be another dog with a larger chunk of meat tucked in his mouth.He was tempted to have that piece also.So in a bid to snatch that piece,he,without weighing pros and cons of the situation,plunged into the water and opened his mouth to yank the meat from the other dog.As a result,his piece flumped down into the water and sank to the bottom.The avaricious dog lost his own booty.

       Truly has been said......HALF A LOAF IS BETTER THAN NONE.
  ....................................................
MORAL.....AVARICE IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL MISFORTUNES.
