Besedilo
Kokoš, ki je nesla zlata jajca
A man had a hen that laid golden eggs. Thinking there was a lump of gold inside her, he killed her, only to find that she was just like any other hen. Hoping to gain a fortune all at once, he lost even the modest wealth he had.
The fable shows that we should be content with what we have and shun greed.

Ὄρνιθά τις εἶχεν ὠὰ χρυσᾶ τίκτουσαν· καὶ νομίσας ἔνδον αὐτῆς ὄγκον χρυσίου εἶναι, κτείνας εὕρηκεν ὁμοίαν τῶν λοιπῶν ὀρνίθων. Ὁ δὲ ἀθρόον πλοῦτον ἐλπίσας εὑρήσειν, καὶ τοῦ μικροῦ ἐστέρηται ἐκείνου.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι δεῖ τοῖς παροῦσιν ἀρκεῖσθαι καὶ τὴν ἀπληστίαν φεύγειν.
