O izvirniku

Besedilo
Kmet in reka
They say that a farmer walking beside a river lost his axe. The river took pity on him and brought up a silver one. When the farmer said it was not his, the river brought up a golden one. He disclaimed that one too, so the river returned his own axe and gave him the others as well, in admiration of his honesty. Another farmer, hoping for the same good fortune, deliberately threw his axe into the same river. But the river did not even send back his own. The first farmer happened to come upon him and said, “A river does not always yield axes.”

Γεωργόν φασι παρὰ ποταμὸν βαδίζοντα ἀποβαλεῖν ἀξίνην· κατοικτείραντα δὲ τὸν ποταμὸν ἀνεῖναι αὐτῷ ἀργυρᾶν. Τοῦ δὲ φήσαντος, οὐκ εἶναι ταύτην αὑτου, ἀνεῖναι αὖθις χρυσῆν. Ἀρνησαμένου δὲ καὶ ταύτην, τὸν ποταμὸν τὴν ἰδίαν αὐτῷ ἀναδοῦναι, καὶ τὰς ἄλλας δωρήσασθαι, ἀγασθέντα αὐτὸν τῆς δικαιοσύνης. Ἕτερον δὲ γεωργὸν, βουλόμενον τῶν αὐτῶν τυχεῖν, ἑκόντα καταβαλεῖν τὴν ἀξίνην ἐν τῷ αὐῷ ποταμῷ. Τὸν δὲ ποταμὸν οὐδὲ τὴν ἰδίαν αὐτῷ ἀναπέμψαι. Τὸν δὲ πρότερον γεωργὸν παρατυχόντα εἰπεῖν πρὸς αὐτόν· ,,οὐκ ἀεὶ ποταμὸς ἀξίνας φέρει.“
