REMEMBER THE STORY ABOUT THE DOG AND HIS BONE?

There was a real smart dog that had searched and searched for just the right bone. After several hours the dog found a real big wonderful bone. He picked the good bone up and started home with his prized bone. On the way home the dog had to pass over a bridge across the pond. The dog looked down in the water and saw a dog had a much larger bone than he had. He growled at the dog, MY BONE IS MUCH SMALLER THAN YOURS, I WANT YOUR BIG BONE NOW! The dog on the bridge decided to scare the other dog and take his bone. The growl didn’t work. The dog on the bridge barked real loud to intimidate the dog with the bigger bone. When the dog barked at the other dog his bone fell out of his mouth and hit the water. His bone made a ripple effect and now his bone was gone. The dog then realized what he saw as a bigger bone was no more than a reflection now his bone was forever gone. He was not satisfied with what he had… His infatuation was soon gone.
