Prevod

A serpent and an eagle were locked in combat, and the serpent had the eagle in its coils. A farmer saw them, unwound the serpent’s coils, and set the eagle free. Enraged by this, the serpent spat venom into the drink of the man who had rescued the eagle. Just as the unsuspecting farmer was about to drink, the eagle swooped down and snatched the cup from his hands.

Gratitude awaits those who do good.

Δράκων καὶ ἀετὸς συμπλακέντες ἀλλήλοις ἐμάχοντο· καὶ ὁ μὲν δράκων εἶχε τὸν ἀετὸν συλλαβών. Γεωργὸς δὲ ἰδὼν, λύσας τὴν πλοκὴν τοῦ δράκοντος, αὐτόνομον ἀφῆκε τὸν ἀετόν. Χαλεπήνας δὲ ἐπὶ τούτοις ὁ δράκων, ἰὸν ἀφῆκε τῷ τοῦ σώσαντος πόματι. Πιεῖν δὲ τοῦ γεωργοῦ πρὸς ἄγνοιαν μέλλοντος, ὁ ἀετὸς καταπτὰς τῶν τοῦ γεωργοῦ χειρῶν ἐξαιρεῖται τὴν κύλικα.

Τοὺς εὖ ποιοῦντας μένουσι χάριτες.
