Greedy as he was, he wanted that bone too, and barked at the dog. Suddenly, as he opened his mouth to bark, his big, juicy bone fell into the water. 

He lost the bone and felt very sad and hungry. But then he realized that what he saw in the water was not another dog, it was his own reflection. He had lost his bone because of his own greediness.
