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
Lev in divji osel
A lion and a wild ass went hunting together, the lion relying on his strength and the wild ass on his swiftness of foot. When they had caught some animals, the lion divided the spoils and set out the shares. “The first,” he said, “I shall take as my due, for I am king; the second, as an equal partner; and as for the third, it will bring you great harm unless you choose to run away.”
It is wise in all things to judge oneself by one’s own strength, and not to join forces or enter into partnership with those more powerful than oneself.

Θῆρας ἐθήρευον λέων καὶ ὄναγρος, ὁ μὲν λέων διὰ τῆς δυνάμεως, ὁ δὲ ὄναγρος διὰ τῆς ἐν ποσὶ ταχύτητος. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ζῶά τινα ἐθήρευσαν, ὁ λέων μερίζει καὶ τίθησι τὰς μοίρας. „Τὴν μὲν μίαν“ εἶπεν „λήψομαι ὡς πρῶτος, βασιλεὺς γάρ εἰμι· τὴν δὲ δευτέραν, ὡς ἐξ ἴσου κοινωνῶν· ἡ δὲ τρίτη μοῖρα, αὕτη κακὸν μέγα σοι ποιήσει, ἢν μὴ ἐθέλῃς φυγεῖν.
Ὅτι καλὸν ἑαυτὸν μετρεῖν ἐν πᾶσι κατὰ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἰσχὺν, καὶ δυνατωτέροις ἑαυτὸν μὴ συνάπτειν μηδὲ κοινωνεῖν.
