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.

Among them all

the youngest was Elpenor -

no mainstay in a fight nor very clever -

and this one, having climbed on Kirke's roof

to taste the cool night, fell asleep with wine.

of men below, he started up, but missed

his footing on the long steep backward ladder

and fell that height headlong. The blow smashed

the nape cord, and his ghost fled to the dark.
