Aesop | Greece
The Dog and The Oyster
A curious dog exploring the beach mistakenly swallows an oyster, thinking it's an egg, but regrets it due to the resulting stomach pain.
Once there was a Dog who loved to explore the woods, fields, and beach near his home. He was always curious and liked to discover new things.
One sunny day, as the Dog was walking along the sandy shore, he noticed something strange sticking out of the sand. It looked round and solid, like the eggs he sometimes found in the chicken coop. The Dog got really excited and started digging it up, thinking it would be a delicious treat.
To his surprise, it was an Oyster that had been washed up by the tide. However, the Dog had never seen an oyster before, so he mistook it for a big, juicy egg. He couldn't resist the temptation and quickly swallowed it without thinking twice.
But soon, the Dog started feeling a lot of pain. His belly was hurting badly because the hard Oyster was sitting in his stomach. He realized that his eagerness to eat what he thought was an egg had been a mistake, and he regretted it.
