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
Lisica in lev
A fox served a lion as his attendant: she would point out the prey, and he would spring upon it and catch it. Each then received a share according to their worth. But the fox, jealous of the lion’s larger portion, chose to do the hunting herself instead of merely pointing out the prey. And as she tried to snatch an animal from a flock, she herself became the hunters’ prey before she could take her own.
Better to serve in safety than to rule in peril.

Ἀλώπηξ λέοντι συνῆν ἐν ὑπηρέτου προσχήματι· καὶ ἡ μὲν ἄγρας ἐμήνυεν, ὁ δὲ ἐμπίπτων ἐλάμβανεν. Ἑκατέρῳ τοίνυν πρὸς τὴν ἀξίαν διῃρεῖτο μερίς. Ζηλοτυπήσασα δὲ ἡ ἀλώπηξ τῶν πλεόνων τὸν λέοντα, θηρᾶν ἀντὶ τοῦ μηνύειν ᾑρεῖτο. Καὶ πειρωμένη ποίμνης τι λαβεῖν, κατέστη πρώτη τοῖς θηρῶσιν εἰς θήραμα.
Ἄρχεσθαι μᾶλλον ἀσφαλῶς ἄμεινον, ἤ κρατεῖν σφαλερῶς.
