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
Orač in volk
A plowman unyoked his oxen and led them away to drink. A hungry wolf, searching for food, came upon the plow and at first licked the oxen’s yoke straps. Then, little by little, he unwittingly slipped his neck into the yoke and, unable to pull it free, dragged the plow across the field. When the plowman returned and saw him, he said, “If only, you wicked creature, you would give up stealing and wrongdoing and turn to farming!” So it is with wicked people: even when they profess goodness, they are lying.

Ἀρότης λύσας τὸ ζεῦγος ἐπὶ πότον ἀπήγαγε· λύκος δὲ λιμώττων καὶ τροφὴν ζητῶν ὡς περιέτυχε τῷ ἀρότρῳ, τὸ μὲν πρῶτον τὰς τῶν ταύρων ζεύγλας περιέλειχε, λαθὼν δὲ κατὰ μικρὸν, ἐπεὶ καθῆκε τὸν αὐχένα, ἀνασπᾶν μὴ δυνάμενος, ἐπὶ τὴν ἄρουραν τὸ ἄροτρον ἔσυρεν. Ὁ δὲ ἀρότης ἐπανελθὼν καὶ θεασάμενος αὐτὸν ἔλεγεν· „εἴθε γὰρ, ὦ κακὴ κεφαλὴ, καταλιπὼν τὰς ἁρπαγὰς καὶ τὸ ἀδικεῖν ἐπὶ τὸ γεωπονεῖν τραπείης.“
Οὕτως οἱ πονηροὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων κἂν χρηστότητα ἐπαγγέλλωνται, ψεύδονται.
