Krokar in lisica
A crow had come by a piece of cheese and sat perched high above the ground with it in his beak. A fox saw him and prowled around beneath him, plotting a trick. “What a sight!” she said. “Crow, how finely proportioned you are! And your plumage is fit for a king of the birds. If only you had a voice as well, you would surely reign over them all.” This she said to deceive him. Taken in, the crow let the cheese fall and gave a mighty caw, making his display of voice at the cost of his prize. The fox snatched it up and said, “You had a voice, Crow, but you lacked sense.” Heed your enemies, and you will come to harm.

Τῷ κόρακι τὸ θήραμα τυρὸς ἦν, καὶ ἐν μετεώρῳ φέρων ἐκάθητο. Ἰδοῦσα δὲ ἀλώπηξ ἀπάτῃ περιενόστει τὸν κόρακα· „τί ταῦτα ;“ λέγουσα· „μετριότητι μὲν, ὦ κόραξ, διενήνοχας σώματος, χροιὰν δὲ φέρεις τῇ τῶν ὀρνίθων ἡγεμονίᾳ προσήκουσαν· εἰ δὲ καὶ φωνὴ παρῆν, ἅπασαν ἄν εἶχες τὴν τῶν ὀρνίθων ἀρχήν.“ Ταῦτα δὲ εἶπε πρὸς ἀπάτην. Ὁ δὲ ὑπαχθεὶς, τὸν τυρὸν ἐκβαλὼν, ἀνέκραγε μέγιστον, φωνῆς ἐπίδειξιν τὴν ἀφαίρεσιν ποιῶν τοῦ θηράματος. δὲ λαβοῦσα „φωνὴ μὲν, ὦ κόραξ,“ εἶπεν „προσῆν, ὁ δὲ νοῦς ἐπιλέλοιπεν.“
Ἐχθροῖς πειθαρχῶν ὑποστήσῃ τὴν βλάβην.
