Besedilo
Žena in služabnice
A hardworking widow who had servant girls used to wake them for their work while it was still dark, at the crowing of the cocks. Worn out by their constant toil, the girls decided to kill the cock that lived at the house, believing that he was the one who roused their mistress in the night. But once they had done so, they found themselves in still worse trouble. For their mistress, no longer knowing when the cocks would crow, began waking them even earlier in the night.
The fable shows that many people bring misfortune upon themselves through their own schemes.

Γυνὴ χήρα φιλεργὸς, θεραπαινίδας ἔχουσα, ταύτας εἰώθει νυκτὸς ἐγείρειν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα πρὸς τὰς τῶν ἀλεκτρυόνων ᾠδάς. Αἱ δὲ, συνεχῶς τῷ πόνῳ ταλαιπωρούμειναι, ἔγνωσαν δεῖν τὸν ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας ἀποκτεῖναι ἀλεκτρυόνα, ὡς ἐκείνου νύκτωρ ἐξανιστάντος τὴν δέσποιναν. Συνέβη δʼ αὐταῖς τοῦτο διαπραξαμέναις χαλεπωτέροις περιπεσεῖν τοῖς δεινοῖς. Ἡ γὰρ δεσπότις, ἀγνοοῦσα τὴν τῶν ἀλεκτρυόνων ὥραν, ἐννυχωτερον ταύτας ἀνίστη.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι πολλοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ βουλεύματα κακῶν αἴτια γίνεται.
