O izvirniku

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
Želva in orel
A tortoise begged an eagle to teach her to fly. Though he warned her that flying was quite contrary to her nature, she only pressed her plea more urgently. So he took her in his talons, carried her high into the air, and let her go. She fell upon the rocks and was dashed to pieces.
The fable shows that many, through stubbornness, have disregarded the advice of those wiser than themselves and come to harm.

Χελώνη ἀετοῦ ἐδεῖτο, ἵπτασθαι αὐτὴν διδάξαι. Τοῦ δὲ παραινοῦντος, πόῤῥω τοῦτο τῆς φύσεως αὐτῆς εἶναι, ἐκείνη μᾶλλον τῇ δεήσει προσέκειτο. Λαβών οὖν αὐτὴν τοῖς ὄνυξι καὶ εἰς ὕψος ἀνενεγκών, εἶτʼ ἀφῆκεν. Ἡ δὲ κατὰ πετρῶν πεσοῦσα συνετρίβη.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι πολλοὶ ἐν φιλονεικίαις, τῶν φρονιμωτέρων παρακούσαντες, ἑαυτούς ἔβλαψαν.
