New idea For my Animation

I have decided to change my idea, I want my new story to be based on an Aesop's fable, I looked at a variety of them and found this story very interesting.

This story is all about how not to be greedy as all greed is good for, is nothing. 

I don't want to just take this story and turn it into an animation. I just want to take the concept of this story, for example, In my animation I think there needs to be an Animal that drops a piece of food into the water, because he is greedy.

Animal ideas:

Greedy animal   

1.Cat

2.Lion

3.Bear

4.Fox

5.lemur

6.Chameleon

Food for animal

1.Mouse

2.Slab of meat

3.Trout/Picnic Basket

4.Rabbit

5.Apple

6.Big bug

Out of the above I believe I will go for Lemur and an Apple.
