A raven, finding no food, spotted a snake sleeping in a sunny place, swooped down, and seized it. But the snake turned and bit him. As he lay dying, the raven said, “Wretched fool that I am! What a lucky find this was—to be the death of me!” This fable might be told of a man who found a treasure and thereby put his very life in danger.
Κόραξ τροφῆς ἀπορῶν ὡς ἐθεάσατο ὄφιν ἔν τινι εὐηλίῳ τόπῳ κοιμώμενον, τοῦτον καταπτὰς ἥρπασε. Τοῦ δὲ ἐπιστραφέντος καὶ δακόντος αὐτὸν, ἀποθνήσκειν μέλλων ἔφη· „ἀλλʼ ἔγωγε δείλαιος, ὅτι τοιοῦτον ἕρμαιον εὗρον, ἐξ οὐ καὶ ἀπόλλυμαι.“
Οὗτος ὁ λόγος λεχθείη ἂν πρὸς ἄνδρα, ὅς διὰ θησαυροῦ εὕρεσιν καὶ περὶ σωτηρίας ἐκινδύνευσε.
