Besedilo
Kmet in kača
One winter, an old farmer found a snake frozen stiff with cold. Taking pity on it, he picked it up and tucked it into his bosom. But once the snake had warmed up and regained its natural vigor, it bit its benefactor and killed him. As he lay dying, the farmer said, “I deserve what I suffer for having pitied a wicked creature.” The fable shows that the wicked do not change, however great the kindness shown to them.

Γέρων τις γεωργὸς χειμῶνος ὥρᾳ ὄφιν εὑρὼν ὑπὸ κρύους πεπηγότα, τοῦτον ἐλεήσας καὶ λαβὼν ὑπὸ κόλπον ἔθετο. Θερμανθεὶς δὲ ἐκεῖνος καὶ ἀναλαβών τὴν ἰδίαν φύσιν, ἔπληξε τὸν εὐεργέτην καὶ ἀνεῖλε· θνήσκων δὲ ἔλεγε· ,,δίκαια πάσχω, τὸν πονηρὸν οἰκτείρας.“
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι ἀμετάθετοί εἰσιν αἱ πονηρίαι, κἂν τὰ μέγιστα φιλανθρωπεύωνται.
