For you are ignorant by nature and not the curious sort; you have never even read Aesop, who said that the lark was the first of all birds to be born, before the earth itself existed. Then her father died of an illness, and since there was no earth, he lay unburied for five days. At a loss, with nowhere else to turn, she buried her father in her own head.

Izvirnik

Ἀμαθὴς γὰρ ἔφυς κοὐ πολυπράγμων, οὐδʼ Αἴσωπον πεπάτηκας, ὃς ἐφασκε λέγων κορυδὸν πάντων πρώτην ὄρνιθα γενέσθαι, προτέραν τῆς γῆς, κἄπειτα νόσῳ τὸν πατέρʼ αὐτῆς ἀποθνήσκειν· γῆν δʼ οὐκ εἶναι, τὸν δὲ προκεῖσθαι πεμπταῖον· τὴν δʼ ἀποροῦσαν ὑπʼ ἀμηχανίας τὸν πατέρʼ αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ κατορύξαι.
