Besedilo
Bolha in človek
A flea once tormented a man terribly. At last he caught it and cried, “Who are you, to feast on every limb of mine, wearing me away for no reason at all?” The flea cried out, “Good sir, spare me! Do not kill me, for I can do no great harm.” But the man laughed and said to it, “You shall die this very moment by my own hands, for no evil, whether small or great, should be allowed to exist at all.” The wicked deserve no mercy, whether great or small.

Ψύλλα ποτέ τινι πολλὰ ἠνώχλει· καὶ δὴ συλλαβών ,,τίς εἶ σύ “ ἀνεβόα, ,,ὅτι πάντα μου τὰ μέλη κατεβοσκήσω, εἰκῇ καὶμάτην ἐμὲ καταναλίσκων;“ Ἡ δὲ ἐβόα· ,,ὦ οὗτος, σῶζέ με, μὴ κτεῖνε· μέγα γὰρ κακὸν οὐ δύναμαι ποιεῖν.“ Ὁ δὲ γελάσας πρὸς αὐτὴν οὕτως ἔφη· ,,ἄρτι τεθνήξῃ χερσί μου ταῖς ἰδίαις· ἅπαν γὰρ κακὸν, εἴτε μικρὸν εἴτε μέγα, οὐδʼ ὅλως πρέπει που φῦναι.“
Ὅτι κακῷ οὐ πρέπει ἐλεηθῆναι, κἄν μέγας ᾖ κἂν μικρός.
