Besedilo
Deček in škorpijon
A boy was hunting grasshoppers outside the city wall. He had caught many when he spotted a scorpion and, mistaking it for a grasshopper, cupped his hand and was about to bring it down over the creature. But the scorpion raised its sting and said, “Go on, do it! Then you’ll lose even the grasshoppers you’ve already caught.”
The fable teaches us that we should not treat the good and the wicked alike.

Παῖς πρὸ τοῦ τείχους ἀκρίδας ἐθήρευε. Πολλὰς δὲ συλλαβὼν, ὡς ἐθεάσατο σκορπίον, νομίσας ἀκρίδα εἷναι, κοιλάνας τὴν χεῖρα οἷός τε ἦν καταφέρειν αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ὃς τὸ κέντρον ἐπάρας ἔφη· ,,εἴθε γὰρ τοῦτο ποιήσειας, ἵνα καὶ ἃς συνείληφας ἀκρίδας, ταύτας ἀποβάλῃς.
Ὁ λόγος διδάσκει ἡμᾶς, μὴ δεῖν πᾶσι τοῖς χρηστοῖς καὶ πονηροῖς τὰ αὐτὰ προσφέρειν.
