O izvirniku
Ezopove basni
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
Lastovka in vrana
A swallow said to a crow, “I am a maiden, an Athenian, a queen, and the daughter of the king of Athens.” She went on to tell of Tereus’s violence against her and how her tongue had been cut out. The crow replied, “What would you have done if you still had your tongue, when you chatter so much with it cut out?” Those who boast and tell lies expose themselves through their own words.

Χελιδὼν ἔφη πρὸς τὴν κορώνην· ,,ἐγὼ παρθένος καὶ Ἀθηναία καὶ βασίλισσα καὶ βασιλέως τῶν Ἀθηνῶν θυγάτηρ·“ προσέθηκε δὲ καὶ τοῦΤηρέως τὴν βίαν, καὶ τὴν ἀποκοπὴν τῆς γλώττης. Καὶ ἡ κορώνη ἔφη· ,,τί ἂν ἐποίησας, εἰ τὴν γλῶτταν εἶχες, ὅπου τμηθείσης τοσαῦτα λαλεῖς;“
Ὅτι οἱ διὰ τοῦ λόγου ἀλαζόνες ψευδολογοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς ἔλεγχος καθίστανται.
