Besedilo
Škržat in lisica
A cicada was singing in a tall tree. A fox, wanting to eat him, devised the following plan. Standing opposite the tree, she praised the beauty of his voice and urged him to come down, saying that she longed to see how large a creature could make so great a sound. But the cicada, suspecting a trick, said to the fox, “You are quite mistaken, my dear, if you thought I would come down. I have been on my guard against foxes ever since I saw a cicada’s wings in a fox’s droppings.”
The misfortunes of others teach the wise to be cautious.

Τέττιξ ἐπί τινος ὑψηλοῦ δένδρου ᾗδεν. Ἀλώπηξ δὲ βουλομένη αὐτὸν καταφαγεῖν, τοιοῦτον ἐπενόησεν. Ἄντικρυς στᾶσα ἐθαύμαζεν αὐτοῦ τὴν εὐφωνίαν, καὶ παρεκάλει καταβῆναι λέγουσα, ὅτι ἐπεθύμει θεάσασθαι, πηλίκον ζῶον τηλικαῦτα φθέγγεται. Κἀκεῖνος ὑπονοήσας ἀπάτην πρὸς τὴν ἀλώπεκα ἔφη· ,,ἀλλὰ πεπλάνησαι, ὡ αὕτη, εἰ ὑπέλαβές με καταβήσεσθαι· ἐγώ γὰρ ἀπʼ ἐκείνου ἀλώπεκας φυλάττομαι, ἀφʼ οὐ ἐν ἀφοδεύματι ἀλώπεκος πτερὰ τέττιγος ἐθεασάμην.
Ὀτι τούς φρονίμους τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν πέλας αἱ συμφοραὶ σωφρονίζουσι.
