Prevod

A wicked farmer grew envious of his neighbor’s flourishing crop and sought to destroy the fruits of his labor. He caught a fox, tied a burning brand to it, and let it loose toward his neighbor’s field. But the fox did not go where it had been sent; instead, as fate would have it, it set fire to the field of the man who had released it.

Malicious neighbors are the first to suffer the harm they intend for others.

Γεωργῷ πονηρῷ φθόνον ἐνεποίει τὸ τοῦ γείτονος αὐξανόμενον λήϊον, καὶ διαφθείρειν τοὺς ἐκείνου πόνους ἐζήτει. Καὶ θηράσας ἀλώπεκα, προσάψας δαλὸν, πρὸς τὸ τοῦ γείτονος ἀφίησι λήϊον. Ἡ δὲ καθʼ ἧς ἀφεῖτο μὴ παριοῦσα, βουλομένου τοῦ δαίμονος τὸ τοῦ πέμψανττος ἐνέπρησεν λήϊον.

Πονηροὶ γείτονες πρῶτοι τῆς ἑτέρων μετέχουσι βλάβης.
