A lion was chasing a deer. She escaped him and took refuge deep in a thicket. The lion stopped at the edge of the thicket and asked a shepherd whether he had seen where the deer had hidden. The shepherd said he did not know, but as he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the spot. The lion went after the poor deer, and a fox said to the shepherd, “What a coward and a scoundrel you are—a coward before lions, and a scoundrel toward deer!”

Izvirnik

Ἔλαφον διώκει λέων. δὲ φεύγουσα ὑπεξάγει καὶ καταδύεται εἰς δρυμῶνα βαθύν. Ὁ δὲ λέων, ἐπιστὰς τῷ δρυμῷ, ἐρωτᾷ τὸν ποιμένα, εἴ που εἶδε πτήξασαν τὴν ἔλαφον. Ὁ δὲ ποιμὴν οὐκ ἔφη εἰδέναι, καὶ ὁμοῦ λέγων τὴν χεῖρα ἀνατείνας ἔδειξε τὸ χωρίον. Ὤιχετο ὁ λέων ἐπὶ τὴν δειλαίαν ἔλαφον· ἡ δὲ ἀλώπηξ πρὸς τὸν ποιμένα λέγει· ,,ὡς δειλὸς ἄρα καὶ πονηρὸς ἦσθα, δειλὸς μὲν πρὸς λέοντας, πονηρὸς δὲ εἰς ἐλάφους.“
