Besedilo
Konj in osel
A man had a horse and a donkey. As they were traveling along the road, the donkey said to the horse, “Take some of my load if you want me to stay alive.” But the horse refused. The donkey collapsed from exhaustion and died. When their master loaded everything onto the horse, including the donkey’s hide, the horse cried out in grief, “Alas, what a wretched creature I am! What has happened to me? I would not take a little of his load, and now here I am carrying it all—and his hide as well!” The fable shows that when the strong lend a hand to the weak, both will fare safely through life.

Ἄνθρωπός τις εἶχεν ἵππον καὶ ὄνον. Ὁδευόντων δὲ, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶπεν ὁ ὄνος τῷ ἵππῳ· „ἆρον ἐκτοῦ ἐμοῦ βάρους, εἰ θέλεις εἶναί με σῶν·“ Ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἐπείσθη· ὁ δὲ ὄνος, πεσὼν ἐκ τοῦ κόπου, ἐτελεύτησε. Τοῦ δὲ δεσπότου πάντα ἐπιθέντος αὐτῷ, καὶ αὐτὴν τὴν τοῦ ὄνου δορὰν, θρηνῶν ὁ ἵππος ἐβόα· „οἴμοι τῷ παναθλίῳ, τί μοι συνέβη τῷ ταλαιπώρῳ; μὴ θελήσας γὰρ μικρὸν βάρος λαβεῖν, ἰδοὺ ἅπαντα βαστάζω, καὶ τὸ δέρμα.“
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τοῖς μικροῖς οἱ μεγάλοι συγκοινωνοῦντες ἀμφότεροι σωθήσονται ἐν βίῳ.
