Explore "The Dog and the Reflection" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A Dog passing over a stream on a plank saw his reflection in the water.
"You ugly brute!" he cried; "how dare you look at me in that insolent 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.
