Besedilo
Maček in miši
There were many mice in a certain house. A cat, learning of this, came there and began catching and eating them one by one. As their numbers steadily dwindled, the mice retreated into their holes. Unable to reach them any longer, the cat decided he must lure them out by a trick. So he climbed onto a peg and hung himself from it, pretending to be dead. But one of the mice peeped out, saw him, and said, “Listen, you! Even if you turn into a sack, we won’t come near you.” The fable shows that sensible people, once they have experienced someone’s wickedness, are no longer deceived by that person’s pretences.

Ἔν τινι οἰκίᾳ πολλοὶ μύες ἦσαν. Αἴλουρος δὲ τοῦτο γνοὺς ἧκεν ἐνταῦθα, καὶ συλλαμβάνων ἕνα ἕκαστον κατήσθιεν. Οἱ δὲ μύες συνεχῶς ἀναλισκόμενοι κατὰ τῶν ὀπῶν ἔδυνον, καὶ ὁ αἴλουρος μηκέτι αὐτῶν ἐφικέσθαι δυνάμενος, δεῖν ἔγνω διʼ ἐπινοίας αὐτοὺς ἐκκαλεῖσθαι. Διόπερ ἀναβὰς ἐπί τινα πάσσαλον καὶ ἑαυτὸν ἐνθένδε ἀποκρεμάσας προσεποιεῖτο νεκρόν. Τῶν δὲ μυῶν τις παρακύψας ὡς ἐθεάσατο αὐτὸν, εἶπεν· „ἀλλʼ, ὦ οὗτος, σοί γε, κἄν θύλαξ γένῃ, οὐ προσελευσόμεθα.“
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οἱ φρόνιμοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅταν τῆς ἐνίων μοχθηρίας πειραθῶσιν, οὐκέτι αὐτῶν ταῖς ὑποκρίσεσιν ἐξαπατῶνται.
