Besedilo
Krokar in lisica
A raven snatched a piece of meat and settled in a tree. A fox saw him and, wanting to get hold of the meat, stood beneath him and praised his fine size and beauty. She said that he, above all birds, deserved to be king, and would surely become so if only he had a voice. Eager to show her that he had a voice as well, the raven dropped the meat and gave a loud caw. The fox darted forward, snatched up the meat, and said, “O raven, you have everything—only get yourself some sense.” This fable is well suited to a foolish man.

Κόραξ κρέας ἁρπάσας ἐπί τινος δένδρου ἐκάθισεν· ἀλώπηξ δὲ θεασαμένη αὐτὸν καὶ βουλομένη τοῦ κρέως περιγενέσθαι, στᾶσα ἐπῄνει αὐτὸν ὡς εὐμεγέθη τε καὶ καλὸν, λέγουσα καὶ, ὡς πρέπει αὐτῷ μάλιστα τῶν ὀρνέων βασιλεύειν, καὶ τοῦτο πάντως ἄν γένοιτο, εἰ φωνὴν εἶχεν. Ὁ δὲ παραστῆσαι αὐτῇ βουλόμενος, ὅτι καὶ φωνὴν ἔχει, βαλὼν τὸ κρέας μεγάλως ἐκεκράγει· ἐκείνη δὲ προσδραμοῦσα καὶ τὸ κρέας ἁρπάσασα ἔφη· „ὦ κόραξ, ἔχεις τὰ πάντα· νοῦν μόνον κτῆσαι.“
Πρὸς ἄνδρα ἀνόητον ὁ λόγος εὔκαιρος.
