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 sova
There was a beauty contest, and all the birds flocked to be judged by Zeus, Hermes having appointed the day. They gathered at rivers and lakes, discarding their shabby feathers and preening the finer ones. But the jackdaw, whom nature had given no beauty of his own, gathered the feathers the others shed and fashioned them into finery for himself. The owl alone recognized what he had done. She took back her own feather from the jackdaw and persuaded the others to do likewise. Stripped of all he had borrowed, the jackdaw arrived naked before Zeus to be judged.
Borrowed finery brings shame upon those who wear it.

Κάλλους ἦν ἀγὼν, καὶ παρὰ τῷ Διὶ κριθησόμενοι πάντες οἱ ὄρνεις ἐφοίτων, Ἑρμοῦ τὴν κυρίαν ὁρίζοντος. Ποταμούς τε καὶ λίμνας ἅπαντες κατελάμβανον, τὰ μὲν φαῦλα τῶν πτερῶν ἀποβάλλοντες, τὰ δὲ κρείττω φαιδρύνοντες. Κολοιὸς δὲ, οὐδὲν εὐπρεπὲς ἔχων ἀπὸ τῆς φύσεως, ἃ τῶν ἄλλων ἐξέπιπτε, ταῦτα οἰκεῖον συνέθηκε κόσμον. Γλαὺξ δὲ μόνη ἐπιγνοῦσα, τὸ ἑαυτῆς ἀφῃρεῖτο τὸν κολοιὸν, καὶ τὰ ἄλλα πράττειν ἀνέπειθεν. Ἀφαιρεθεὶς δὲ τὰ παρὰ πάντων ὁ κολοιὸς γυμνὸς εἰς τὴν Διὸς ἀφίκετο κρίσιν.
Κόσμος ἐπείσακτος αἰσχύνη τοῖς ἔχουσι.
