English short stories about pets

The Dog and the Shadow Dog and its Shadow A dog, with a fish in his mouth, was crossing the bridge. He saw his own shadow in the water and thought it was the shadow of another dog, with a piece of meat twice as big as himself. Therefore, he let go of his dog and attacked another dog fiercely, trying to steal his big piece from it. He lost two things: what he caught in the water, because it was a shadow; And his own, because the stream washed it away. A dog came to a bridge with a piece of meat in his mouth. When he saw his own shadow in the water, he thought it was another dog with a piece of meat twice as big as himself. He quickly threw the meat into his mouth and attacked the dog in the water. He tried to grab its meat. As a result, he couldn't get two pieces of meat, because it was just a shadow.
