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 osel
A lion and an ass agreed to hunt together and set out. They came to a cave where there were wild goats. The lion stood at the entrance, watching for them to come out, while the ass went inside and drove them out, braying to frighten them. When the lion had caught most of them, the ass came out and asked him whether he had not fought bravely and put the goats to flight. The lion replied, “You may be sure that I too would have been frightened of you, had I not known you were an ass.” So those who boast before people who know them rightly make themselves a laughingstock.

Λέων καὶ ὄνος κοινωνίαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους σπεισάμενοι ἐξῆλθον ἐπὶ θήραν. Γενομένων δὲ αὐτῶν κατά τι σπήλαιον, ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν ἄγριαι αἶγες, ὁ μὲν λέων πρὸ τοῦ στομίου στὰς ἐξιούσας παρετηρεῖτο, ὁ δὲ εἰσελθὼν ἤλαυνεν αὐτὰς, καὶ ὠγκᾶτο ἐκφοβεῖν βουλόμενος. Τοῦ δὲ λέοντος τὰς πλείστας συλλαβόντος, ἐξελθὼν ἐκεῖνος ἐπυνθάνετο αὐτοῦ, εἰ γενναίως ἠγωνίσατο καὶ τὰς αἶγας ἐδίωξεν; Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· „ἀλλʼ εὖ ἴσθι, ὅτι κἀγὼ ἄν σε ἐφοβήθην, εἰ μὴ ᾔδειν ὄνον ὄντα σε.“
Οὕτως οἱ παρὰ τοῖς εἰδόσιν ἀλαζονευόμενοι εἰκότως γέλωτα ὀφλισκάνουσι.
