Besedilo
Bolha in vol
A flea once asked an ox, “Why do you slave away for men day after day, great and strong as you are, while I tear cruelly at their flesh and drink my fill of their blood?” “I will not be ungrateful to humankind,” he replied. “They cherish me and are exceedingly fond of me, and they often rub my forehead and shoulders.” “But for poor little me,” said the flea, “the rubbing you find so pleasant means a miserable death whenever it happens to come my way.” Those who boast in words may be overcome by even the slightest thing.

ψύλλα δήποτε τὸν βοῦν οὕτως ἠρώτα· ,,τί δὴ παθών ἀνθρώποις ὁσημέραι δουλεύεις, καὶ ταῦτα ὑπερμεγέθης καὶ ἀνδρεῖος τυγχάνων, ἐμοῦ σάρκας αὐτῶν οἰκτίστως διασπώσης, καὶ τὸ αἷμα χανδὸν πινούσης;“ Καὶ ὅς ,,οὐκ ἄχαρις ἔσομαι “ φησὶ ,,μερόπων γένει· στέργομαι γὰρ παρʼ αὐτῶν καὶ φιλοῦμαι ἐκτόπως, τρίβομαί τε συχνῶς μέτωπόν τε καὶ ῶμους.“ Ἡ δὲ ,,ἀλλʼ ἐμοὶ γοῦν τέως τῇ δειλαίᾳ ἡ σοὶ φίλη τρίψις οἴκτιστος μόρος, ὅτε καὶ τύχῃ, συμβαίνει.“
Ὅτι οἱ διὰ τοῦ λόγου ἀλαζόνες καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ εὐτελοῦς ἡττῶνται.
