O izvirniku
Ezopove basni
Kratke basni, kjer živali v nekaj potezah razkrijejo človeške slabosti. Bralni jezik je English, izvirnik pa prihaja iz vira Ezopove basni v jeziku Ancient Greek.
Besedilo
Škarnik in kača
A kite seized a snake and carried it aloft. But the snake turned and bit the kite, killing it at once. Then the snake cried out, “Why were you so mad as to wish to harm and kill those who had done you no wrong at all? Now you have suffered what you meant to do to me.” So it is that a man who gives himself over to greed and wrongs the weak will one day encounter someone stronger and, when he least expects it, pay for the evils he has done.

Ἰκτῖνος ὄφιν ἄνω πετάσας φέρει. Ὁ δὲ ἐπιστρα- φεὶς, καὶ δακὼν τοῦτον [αὖθις] εὐθὺς ἔκτεινεν. Ὁ δʼ ὄφις ἀνεβόα· „ἵνα τί ἄρα οὕτως αὐτὸς ἐμάνης, ὥστε τοὺς μηδὲν ὅλως ἠδικηκότας βλάπτειν ἐβούλου καὶ θάνατον προσάγειν ; ὅμως πέπονθας ὅ ἐβούλου μοι πρᾶξαι.“
Ὅτι πλεονεξίᾳ τις προσέχων καὶ τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς ἀδικῶν, ἰσχυροτέροις ἐμπεσών ποτε, καὶ μὴ ἐλπίζων, ἐκτίσει ἃ πρότερον πεποίηκε κακά.
