O izvirniku

Kratke basni, kjer živali v nekaj potezah razkrijejo človeške slabosti. Bralni jezik je English, izvirnik pa prihaja iz vira Ezopove basni v jeziku Ancient Greek.
Besedilo
Krt in njegova mati
A mole (a creature that is blind) told his mother that he could see. To test him, she gave him a grain of frankincense and asked him what it was. When he said it was a pebble, his mother replied, “My child, not only are you deprived of sight, but you have lost your sense of smell as well.” So it is with some braggarts: while claiming they can do the impossible, they are exposed by the smallest things.

Σπάλαξ (ἔστι δὲ τοῦτο τὸ ζῶον τυφλὸν) λέγει τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι βλέπω· κἀκείνη πειράζουσα αὐτὸν χόνδρον λιβανωτοῦ δοῦσα αὐτῷ ἐπηρώτα, τί τοῦτο εἴη. Τοῦ δὲ εἰπόντος ψηφῖδα, ἡ μήτηρ εἶπεν· ,,ὦ τέκνον, οὐ μόνον τοῦ βλέπειν ἐστέρησαι, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς ὀσφρήσεις ἀπώλεσας.“
Οὕτως ἔνιοι τῶν ἀλαζόνων, μέχρις οὗ τὰ ἀδύνατα κατεπαγγέλλονται, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐλαχίστοις ἐλέγχονται.
