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
Kavka in krokarji
A jackdaw, larger than the others of his kind, looked down on his fellows and went to the ravens, asking to live among them. But the ravens, finding both his appearance and his voice unfamiliar, beat him and drove him away. Banished by them, he returned to the jackdaws; but they, indignant at his arrogance, refused to take him back. And so he found himself shut out from the company of both.
So too, those who abandon their homeland and prefer a foreign country win no esteem abroad and are shunned by their own countrymen.

Κολοιὸς, τῷ μεγέθει τῶν ἄλλων κολοιῶν διαφέρων, ὑπερφρονήσας τοὺς ὁμοφύλους παρεγένετο πρὸς τοὺς κόρακας, καὶ τούτοις ἠξίου συνδιαιτᾶσθαι. Οἱ δὲ ἀγνοοῦντες αὐτοῦ τό τε εἶδος καὶ τὴν φωνὴν παίοντες αὐτὸν ἐξέβαλον. Καὶ ὅς ἀπελαθεὶς ὑπʼ αὐτῶν ἧκε πάλιν εἰς τοὺς κολοιούς· οἱ δὲ ἀγανακτοῦντες ἐπὶ τῇ ὕβρει οὐ προσεδέξαντο αὐτόν· οὕτω τε συνέβη αὐτῷ τῆς μετʼ ἀμφοτέρων διαίτης στερηθῆναι.
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ τὰς πατρίδας ἀπολιμπάνοντες καὶ τὴν ἀλλοδαπὴν προκρίνοντες οὔτε ἐν ἐκείνοις εὐδοκιμοῦσι, καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ἰδίων πολιτῶν ἀποστρέφονται.
