Besedilo
Miš in žaba
A mouse who lived on land had the misfortune to befriend a frog. The frog, with mischief in mind, tied the mouse’s foot to his own. First they went out into the fields to dine on grain; then, when they approached the edge of a pond, the frog dragged the mouse down into the depths, reveling in the water and crying, “Brekekekex! Koax! Koax!” The wretched mouse drowned, his body swollen with water, and floated on the surface, still tied to the frog’s foot. A kite caught sight of him and snatched him up in its talons. The frog, bound fast, was carried along too, to become the kite’s dinner himself.
Even the dead have the power to avenge themselves; for divine justice watches over all things and holds the scales in balance, giving each their due.

Χερσαῖος μῦς κακῇ μοίρᾳ βατράχῳ ἐφιλιώθη. Ὁ δὲ βάτραχος, κακῶς βουλευσάμενος, τὸν πόδα τοῦ μυὸς τῷ ἑαυτοῦ ποδὶ συνέδησε. Καὶ πρῶτον μὲν ἐπὶ τῆς χώρας ἦλθον σῖτον δειπνήσοντες· ἔπειτα τὸ χεῖλος τῆς λίμινης πλησιάσαντες, ὁ μὲν βάτραχος τὸν μῦν εἰς τὸν βυθὸν κατήνεγκεν, αὐτὸς βρυάζων τῷ ὕδατι, καὶ τὸ βρεκεκεκὲξ, κοὰξ, κοὰξ ἀνακράζων. Ὁ δὲ ἄθλιος μῦς τῷ ὕδατι φυσηθεὶς ἐτεθνήκει· ἐπέπλει δὲ τῷ ποδὶ τοῦ βατράχου συνδεδεμένος. Ἰκτῖνος δὲ τοῦτον ἰδὼν τοῖς ὄνυξιν ἥρπασε· βάτραχος δὲ δεσμώτης ἐπηκολούθει, δεῖπνον καὶ αὐτὸς ἰκτίνῳ γενησόμενος.
Ὅτι, κἂν νεκρὸς ᾖ τις, ἰσχύει πρὸς ἄμυναν· ἡ γὰρ θεία δίκη ἐφορᾷ πάντα, καὶ τὸ ἶσον ἀποδιδοῦσα ζυγοστατεῖ.
