Two frogs lived as neighbors. One made his home in a deep pond far from the road, while the other lived in a little pool on the road itself. The frog in the pond urged the other to come and live with him, where he could enjoy a better and safer life. But the other would not be persuaded, saying that he could not bear to leave the place he had grown used to—until one day a passing wagon crushed him.
So too, people who persist in harmful ways perish before they turn to better ones.
Δύο βάτραχοι ἀλλήλοις ἐγειτνίαζον· ἐνέμοντο δὲ ὁ μὲν βαθεῖαν καὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ πόῤῥω λίμνην, ὁ δὲ ἐν ὁδῷ μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἔχων. Καὶ δὴ τοῦ ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ παραινοῦντος θατέρῳ μεταβῆναι πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἵνα καὶ ἀμείνονος καὶ ἀσφαλεστέρας διαίτης ἀπολαύῃ, ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἐπείθετο λέγων, δυσαποσπάστως ἔχειν τῆς τοῦ τόπου συνηθείας· ἕως οὗ συνέβη ἅμαξαν τῇδε παριοῦσαν ὀλέσαι αὐτόν.
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ τοῖς φαύλοις ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ἐνδιατρίβοντες φθάνουσιν ἀπολλύμενοι, πρὶν ἢ ἐπὶ τὰ καλλίονα τραπέσθαι.
