Besedilo
Dva psa
A man had two dogs. He trained one to hunt and made the other a watchdog. Whenever the hunting dog went out and caught something, the man would give the other dog a share of it. The hunting dog grew indignant and reproached his companion: he himself went out and toiled all day, while the other did nothing yet feasted on the fruits of his labor. The watchdog replied, “Do not blame me, but our master, who taught me not to work, but to feed on the labors of others.” So too, idle children are not to blame when their parents have brought them up that way.

Ἔχων τις δύο κύνας, τὸν μὲν θηρεύειν ἐδίδαξε, τὸν δὲ οἰκουρὸν ἐποίησε. Καὶ δὴ, εἴ ποτε ὁ θηρευτικὸς ἐξιὼν πρὸς ἄγραν συνελάμβανέ τι, ἐκ τούτου μέρος καὶ τῷ ἑτέρῳ παρέβαλλεν. Ἀγανακτοῦντος δὲ τοῦ θηρευτικοῦ, καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ὀνειδίζοντος, εἴγε αὐτὸς μὲν ἐξιὼν διόλου μοχθεῖ, ὁ δὲ οὐδὲν ποιῶν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ πόνοις ἐντρυφᾷ, ἐκεῖνος ἔφη πρὸς αὐτόν· „ἀλλὰ μὴ ἐμὲ μέμφου, τὸν δεσπότην δὲ, ὅς οὐ πονεῖν με ἐδίδαξεν, ἀλλʼ ἀλλοτρίους πόνους ἐσθίειν.“
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν παίδων οἱ ῥᾴθυμοι οὐ μεμπτέοι εἰσὶν, ὅταν αὐτοὺς οἱ γονεῖς οὕτως ἀγάγωσιν.
