A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.
If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore. At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a stupid Dog he had been.
Take that, subspace.

Re: This is my yard, suckers
Lots more too—sword fern, epiphytic fern, lady fern, bracken fern.
I have never eaten them though. I think the bracken fern is the closest(?) to the ostrich fern(?) that is in Canada that is the best to eat, but that’s from distant memory so it might be wrong.
There are a lot of edible plants here but the field guide says most of them are slightly carcinogeous so I only eat the salmon berries. Actually I only chew them up and then spit out the seeds because they grow like crazy wherever they aren’t trampled or killed by non-native ivy and blackberry.

Re: This is my yard, suckers
Yeah, the Ostrich fern is the variety around here. They're considered a delicacy to some, coming into season soon, too. They're cooked similar to asparagus - sauteed with butter and a little salt - not over-cooked - still firm to the touch. They have a wild taste to them; some would say an acquired taste.
