Besedilo
Črna podlasica
There was once a cobbler who kept a white weasel, which caught one of the mice in his house every day. One day she accidentally tumbled into the basin in which he kept the liquid he used to blacken leather, and barely managed to climb out, dyed black all over. The mice therefore thought that perhaps she would no longer care to eat meat, now that she had put on a monk’s habit. So they ventured fearlessly out into the room, sniffing here and there for something to eat. But when she came upon this great gathering of prey, much as she wished to catch them all at once, she could not; she did, however, seize two and feast on them. All the others fled, wondering as they ran how she had grown more savage since putting on a monk’s habit.

Ἦν τις ἀνὴρ τὴν τέχνην σκυτεύς γαλῆν ἔχων τὸ χρῶμα λευκὴν, ἣ τῶν κατʼ οἶκον μυῶν καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐθήρευεν ἕνα. Αὕτη λαθοῦσά ποτε κατὰ μέσην κρημνίζεται τὴν λεκάνην, ἐν ᾗ τὸ τὰ σκύτη μελαῖνον ὁ σκυτεύς ἐκεῖνος εἶχεν ὑγρὸν, καὶ μόλις ἐκεῖθεν ἄνεισι μέλαν ἔχουσα χρῶμα. Ἔδοξεν οὖν τοῖς μυσὶν, ἐκείνην ἴσως μηκέτι κρεωφαγεῖν ἐθελήσειν εἰς μοναδικὸν ἑαυτὴν μεταμείψασαν σχῆμα. Ὅθεν καὶ ἀδεῶς ἑαυτοὺς ἐς τὸ ἕδος ἐφήπλωσαν, ῥινηλατοῦντες ἄνω καὶ κάτω οἷς τραφήσονται. ἀλλʼ ἐκείνη πρὸς τοσοῦτον ἄγρας παρελθοῦσα θέατρον, πάντας μὲν ὁμοῦ σαγηνεύειν οὐκ εἶχε καὶ μάλα ἐθέλουσα· δύο δʼ οὖν ὅμως συλλαβοῦσα κατεθοινήσατο. Οἱ δʼ ἕτεροι πάντες ᾤχοντο φεύγοντές τε ἅμα καὶ θαυμάζοντες, ὅπως ἀπηνεστέρα γέγονεν, ἀφʼ οὐ τὸ μοναδικὸν περιέθετο σχῆμα.
