O izvirniku
Ezopove basni
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
Mravlje in škržati
It was the height of summer. The cicadas struck up a spirited song, while the ants set to work gathering food to sustain them through the winter. When winter came, the ants lived on the fruits of their toil, but the cicadas’ pleasure ended in want.
So those who will not work in their youth suffer hardship in old age.

Θέρους ἦν ἀκμή· καὶ οἱ μὲν τέττιγες μουσικὴν ἀνεβάλλοντο σύντονον, τοῖς μύρμηξι δὲ πονεῖν ἐπῄει καὶ συλλέγειν καρποὺς, ἐξ ὧν ἔμελλον τοῦ χειμῶνος τραφήσεσθαι. Χειμῶνος δʼ ἐπιγεγονότος, οἱ μύρμηκες μὲν οἷς ἐπόνουν ἐτρέφοντο, τοῖς δὲ ἡ τέρψις ἐτελεύτα πρὸς ἔνδειαν.
Οὕτω νεότης, πονεῖν οὐκ ἐθέλουσα, παρὰ τὸ γῆρας κακοπραγεῖ.
