A DOG passing over a stream on a plank¹ saw his reflection in the
water.

"You ugly brute²!" he cried; "how dare you look at me in that
insolent³ way."

He made a grab in the water, and, getting hold of what he supposed
was the other dog's lip, lifted out a fine piece of meat which a
butcher's boy had dropped into the stream.
