O izvirniku
Ezopove basni
Kratke basni, kjer živali v nekaj potezah razkrijejo človeške slabosti. Bralni jezik je English, izvirnik pa prihaja iz vira Ezopove basni v jeziku Ancient Greek.
Besedilo
Divji osel in osel
A wild ass saw a donkey carrying a heavy load and mocked him for his servitude. “How fortunate I am,” he said, “to live freely and without toil, finding my own pasture in the mountains! You, on the other hand, depend on someone else for your food and are constantly subjected to drudgery and beatings.” Just then a lion appeared. He kept away from the donkey, since the driver was with him, but sprang fiercely upon the wild ass, who was alone, and devoured him.
The fable shows that the unruly and stubborn, who follow their own will and think they need no one’s help, soon come to ruin.

Ὄναγρος ὄνον ἰδὼν βαρὺν γόμον ἐπαγόμενον, [καὶ] τὴν δουλείαν αὐτῷ ἐπονειδίζων ἔλεγεν· ,,εὐτυχὴς ὄντως ἐγὼ, ὅτι ζῶν ἐλευθέρως καὶ διάγων ἀκόπως, αὐτοσχέδιον καὶ τὴν νομὴν ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι κέκτημαι· σὺ δὲ διʼ ἄλλου τρέφῃ, καὶ δουλείαις καὶ πληγαῖς καθυποβάλλῃ διηνεκῶς.“ Συνέβη δʼ οὖν αὐθωρὸν λέοντά τινα φανῆναι, καὶ τῷ μὲν ὄνῳ μὴ προσπελάσαι, ὡς συνόντος αὐτῷ τοῦ ὀνηλάτου, τῷ δὲ ὀνάγρῳ, μεμονωμένῳ τυγχάνοντι, σφοδρῶς ἐπελθεῖν καὶ αὑτῷ θέσθαι κατάβρωμα.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὡς οἱ ἀνυπότακτοι καὶ σκληροτράχηλοι, τῇ αὐτοβουλίᾳ φερόμενοι καὶ βοηθείας τινὸς μὴ δεόμενοι, αὐθωρὸν πτῶμα γίνονται.
