A hunter was coming down from the mountain after a hunt, and a fisherman was making his way home with a basket full of fish. By chance the two met. The hunter fancied the fish from the sea, while the fisherman preferred the wild game, so they exchanged their catches. After that they kept making the same exchange and enjoyed their dinners all the more, until someone said to them, “But familiarity will rob these pleasures of their charm as well, and each of you will long again for what he had before.” So it is that no one is easily satisfied: after briefly enjoying the pleasure at hand, everyone immediately turns his desire to something else.

Ἤιει κυνηγὸς ἐξ ὄρους κυνηγήσας, ᾔει δὲ γριπεὺς κύρτον ἰχθύων πλήσας. καί πως συνηβόλησαν οἱ δύʼ ἀλλήλοις· χὡ μὲν κυνηγὸς ἰχθύων ἁλιπλώων, θήραν δʼ ὁ γριπεὺς ᾑρέτιζεν ἀγρείην, ἃ τʼ εἶχον ἀντέδωκαν· εἶτα τὴν θήρην ἤμειβον αἰεί, δεῖπνα δʼ εἶχον ἡδίω, ἕως τις αὐτοῖς εἶπεν· „ἀλλὰ καὶ τούτων τὸ χρηστὸν ἐξολεῖτε τῇ συνηθείᾳ, πάλιν δʼ ἕκαστος ἃ πρὶν εἶχε ζητήσει.“

Ὅτι πᾶς δυσάρεστος, τοῦ παρόντος ἡδέος μικρόν τι ἀπολαύσας, εὐθὺς τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν ἐφʼ ἕτερον τρέπει.
