Besedilo
Kmet in oslički
A farmer who had grown old in the countryside without ever having set foot in a city begged his family to let him see one. They harnessed some little donkeys, helped him into the cart, and told him to drive there on his own. As he went along, a violent storm swept in and darkness fell. The donkeys strayed from the road and carried the old man to the edge of a precipice. Just as he was about to plunge over, he cried, “O Zeus, what wrong have I ever done you, that I should perish so senselessly—and not through noble horses or fine mules, but through the most wretched little donkeys?”

Γεωργός τις ἐπʼ ἀγροῦ γεγηρακὼς, ἐπεὶ μηδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς ἄστυ, παρεκάλει τοὺς οἰκείους τοῦτο θεάσασθαι. Οἱ δὲ ζεύξαντες ὀνάρια καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς ἀπήνης αὐτὸν ἀναβιβασάμενοι, μόνον ἐκέλευσαν ἐλαύνειν. Ὁδεύοντι δὲ χειμῶνος καὶ θυέλλης τὸν ἀέρα καταλαβόντων καὶ ζόφου γενομένου, τὰ ὀνάρια τῆς ὁδοῦ πλανηθέντα εἴς τινα κρημνὸν ἐξετόπισαν τὸν πρεσβύτην. Ὁ δὲ μέλλων ἤδη κατακρημνίζεσθαι ,,ὦ Ζεῦ,“ εἶπε ,,τί ποτέ σε ἠδίκησα, ὅτι οὕτω παρὰ λόγον ἀπόλλυμαι, καὶ ταῦτα οὔθ ὐφʼ ἵππων γενναίων οὔθ’ ἡμιόνων ἀγαθῶν, ἀλλ’ ὀναρίων εὐτελεστάτων;“
