In order for your life to be great you must first learn to appreciate it. This theme reflects in the fables “The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg”, by Nicky Grischotti and “The Dog and His Reflection”, by Tony Payne they both show that you should appreciate what you have and to not be greedy for more.
In “The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg”, the theme, don’t be greedy and appreciate what you have, is shown from beginning to the end. For instance, Atticus Greeb, the main character, inherits a large farm from his father. Instead of using the farm to make money by working, he sells it piece by piece except for a goose for money. This shows he was greedy because he could’ve produced fruits and vegetables and sold them for money but he was lazy, sat around, and ended up selling his farm. To make matters worse he had a goose on the farm that he was going to sell because it wasn’t producing eggs. However, after the goose laid a golden egg he forced …show more content…
it to make more. Once again he was unappreciative because he wasn’t happy with one golden egg he wanted more. Because he wanted more money, he killed the goose to attempt to get all of the eggs. and he didn’t get any so he became a poor man again because of his greediness and because he was unappreciative. This demonstrates don’t be greedy and be appreciative because he decided instead of being patient he was going to be greedy and kill his only possession giving him money just for a lot of money at once. As shown in “The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg” do not be unappreciative and don’t be greedy.
In “The Dog and His Reflection” the theme be appreciative and don’t be greedy is show throughout the story.
In the story their is a dog whose name is patch and he is a good dog, but then turns bad, and when he turns bad he gets greedy. For an example, all the dogs got biscuits but he was mean to them so he would get them first, and he would eat all of them. This shows greediness because he wanted all of them and he only needed a few. After this, the farmer was making some some meat for his family, but the dog came in and took the meat from him. Then he ran away with the meat for him to eat. As you can see he is greedy because he had his dog biscuits but those weren’t enough for him so he took meat. One more reason why he wasn’t appreciating what he had is, once he got to a place to stop and eat his meat he sees another dog with meat and in the process of trying to get it he loses his meat. Once again he was greedy, because he could have been good with what he had, but he needed more, and because of that he ended up with
nothing.
People spend too much time looking for more instead of appreciating what they already have. As you saw in “The Dog and His Reflection” and“The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg”, they both show you should spend more time appreciating what you have then trying to get more. However they are still different because in “The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg”, It’s about a man Who ends up having something die from his greediness but in “The Dog and His Reflection” The dog is unappreciative and ends up with nothing. As shown do not be greedy and be appreciative for what you have.
