Prevod

An Arab, having loaded his camel, asked whether it would rather go uphill or downhill. The camel, not without wit, replied, “Why, is the level road closed?” This fable is apt for crooked men who stray from the straight path.

Izvirnik

Ἄραψ κάμηλον ἀχθίσας ἐπηρώτα, πότερʼ ἀναβαίνειν μᾶλλον ἢ κάτω βαίνειν αἱροῖτο. χὡ κάμηλος, οὐκ ἄτερ μούσης, εἶφ’. „ἡ γὰρ ὀρθὴ τῶν ὁδῶν ἀπεκλείσθη;“ Ὁ λόγος εὔθετος πρὸς ἄνδρας διεστραμμένους τῆς εὐθείας ὁδοῦ ἐκκλίνοντας.
