Biscuit and the Bridge of Reflections

3 min 47 sec

Biscuit was a shaggy golden dog with ears that flopped like pancakes and a nose that twitched whenever he smelled something interesting.
One bright Saturday morning he trotted across Maple Meadow carrying the most marvelous bone he had ever found.

It was thick, juicy, and still smelled of the butcher’s smoky kitchen.
Biscuit’s tail wagged so hard that butterflies scattered from the clover like confetti.

He planned to bury his treasure behind the old oak so he could dig it up on winter nights and remember today’s sunshine.
Halfway home he reached a wooden bridge that arched over Willow Brook.

The planks creaked beneath his paws, and the water below sang a gentle babbling song.
Sunlight danced on the surface, turning every ripple into sparkling silver coins.

Biscuit paused in the middle to enjoy the cool breeze lifting his fur.
That was when he saw another dog down in the water, staring up at him with eager eyes.

That dog held an identical bone in his mouth, only the reflection’s bone looked shinier, as if it had been dipped in moonlight.
Biscuit’s heart thumped.

Two wonderful bones!
He imagined the praise at the dog park, the envious tails drooping while he displayed his doubled fortune.

Without thinking, he leaned over the rail, opened his mouth, and snapped at the reflection.
Splash!

His own bone tumbled from his jaws, hit the stream with a hollow clunk, and vanished beneath the laughing current.
The reflection dog disappeared too, leaving Biscuit staring at ripples that spread and faded like disappearing dreams.

Biscuit’s stomach felt suddenly hollow, heavier than the lost bone itself.
A robin overhead chirped what sounded like a gentle question.

Biscuit sat on the warm wood, ears drooping, tasting the bitter mix of regret and salty droplets that blurred his vision.
He had learned something important, though the lesson felt sharp.

After a long minute he stood, shook off his sadness the way he shook off water, and padded toward home.
The meadow seemed quieter, but the buttercups still nodded, and the clouds still floated like slow sheep across the sky.

Biscuit realized that bones could be found again, but moments of greed could teach him forever.
He trotted on, lighter somehow, carrying only the memory and the promise to think twice before snapping at shadows.

When he reached the oak he dug a small hole anyway, not for hiding a bone but for planting a pebble, a reminder that wanting everything can mean losing what you already have.
The earth smelled rich and forgiving.

Biscuit pressed his nose to the soil and breathed until his tail gave a tentative wag.
Tomorrow he would visit the butcher again, tail politely low, eyes bright with new understanding.

Perhaps the butcher would smile and toss him a fresh bone, or perhaps not.
Either way, Biscuit knew he would still have the sunshine, the meadow, and the gentle song of Willow Brook to guide him home.

As twilight painted the sky lavender, Biscuit trotted toward the farmhouse porch where a bowl of cool water waited.
Crickets began their evening chorus, and somewhere downstream his bone rolled along the pebbles, a hidden treasure for minnows to discover.

Biscuit curled beside the porch step, sighed a soft lesson into the dusk, and let the first star listen to his grateful heart.
