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
Muhe
Some honey had spilled in a storeroom, and flies settled on it and began to feast. Its sweetness kept them from leaving. But when their feet became stuck and they could no longer fly away, they cried as they suffocated, “Wretched creatures that we are, to perish for so brief a pleasure!” So greed often becomes the cause of many misfortunes.

Ἔν τινι ταμιείῳ μέλιτος ἐκχυθέντος μυῖαι προσπιᾶσαι κατήσθιον· διὰ δὲ τὴν γλυκύτητα τοῦ καρποῦ οὐκ ἀφίσταντο. Ἐμπαγέντων δʼ αὐτῶν τῶν ποδῶν, ὡς οὐκ ἡδύναντο ἀναπτῆναι, ἀποπνιγόμεναι ἔφασαν· „ἄθλιαι ἡμεῖς, αἳ διὰ βραχεῖαν ἡδονὴν ἀπολλύμεθα.“
Οὕτω πολλάκις ἡ λιχνεία πολλῶν κακῶν αἰτία γίνεται.
