O izvirniku

Besedilo
Ženska in kokoš
A widow had a hen that laid her an egg every day. Thinking that if she gave the hen more barley, it would lay twice a day, she did just that. But the hen grew so fat that it could no longer lay even once a day.
The fable shows that those who greedily long for more lose even what they already have.

Γυνή τις χήρα ὄρνιν εἶχε καθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὠὸν αὐτῇ τίκτουσαν. Νομίσασα δὲ, ὡς, εἰ πλείους τῇ ὄρνιθι κριθὰς παραβάλοι, δὶς τέξεται τῆς ἡμέρας, τοῦτο πεποίηκεν. Ἡ δʼ ὄρνις, κιμελὴς γενομένη, οὐδʼ ἅπαξ τῆς ἡμέρας τεκεῖν ἡδύνατο.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οἱ διὰ πλεονεξίαν τῶν πλειόνων ἐπιθυμοῦντες καὶ τὰ παρόντα ἀποβάλλουσι.
