A hen found some snake’s eggs and carefully kept them warm to hatch them. A swallow saw her and said, “You foolish creature! Why are you rearing things that, when they are grown, will make you their first victim?” So wickedness cannot be tamed, even by the greatest kindness.

Izvirnik

Ὄρνις ὄφεως ὠὰ εὑροῦσα ἐπιμελῶς ἐκθερμάνασα ἐξεκόλαπτε. Χελιδὼν δὲ θεασαμένη αὐτὴν ἔφη· ,,ὦ ματαία, τί ταῦτα ἀνατρέφεις, ἅπερ, ἂν αὐξηθῇ, ἀπὸ σοῦ πρώτης τοῦ ἀδικεῖν ἄρξεται;“

Οὕτως ἀτιθάσευτός ἐστιν ἡ πονηρία, κἂν τὰ μάλιστα εὐεργετῆται.
