O izvirniku

Besedilo
Krokar in labod
A raven saw a swan and envied its color. Believing that the swan owed its whiteness to the waters in which it bathed, the raven abandoned the altars where it found its food and spent its days in lakes and rivers. But for all its washing, its color did not change, and with nothing to eat, it starved to death.
A change of habits cannot change one’s nature.

Ἑωρακὼς τὸν κύκνον ὁ κόραξ ἐζήλου τοῦ χρώμα- τος. Οἰηθεὶς δὲ εἶναι τοιοῦτον οἷς ἀπελούετο, τοὺς βωμοὺς ἐκλιπὼν, ὅθεν ἐτρέφετο, λίμναις καὶ ποταμοῖς ἐνδιέτριβε. Καὶ τὸ μὲν σῶμα φαιδρύνων οὐκ ἤμειβε, τροφῆς δὲ ἀπορῶν διεφθείρετο.
Φύσιν οὐκ οἶδε μεταβάλλειν ἡ δίαιτα.
