A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he crossed a narrow bridge, he looked down and saw his reflection in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own. If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore. At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a foolish Dog he had been.
What is the theme?

• Be honest.
• Don't be greedy.
• Always share your things with others.

Invitation to the Game by Monica Hughes 
And we scrounged.  Next to survival, scrounge was probably the most important word in our new vocabulary.  We found a store that was throwing out water-damaged mattresses.  Getting them home was a problem, since we had to make two trips, leaving Brad and Katie, armed with sticks to guard over the remained.  I truly expected them to be challenged by some gang boss, but they said that the only person who came by was a scrawny little rat of a girl living alone.  We let her have one of the mattresses.
