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
Osel in konj
An ass envied a horse for being so plentifully fed and carefully tended, while he himself had not even enough straw to eat, though he worked exceedingly hard. But when war broke out, a soldier in full armor mounted the horse and rode him here and there, at last charging into the very midst of the enemy, where the horse was struck down and lay fallen. Having witnessed all this, the ass changed his mind and pitied the horse.
The fable shows that we should not envy rulers and the rich, but, considering the envy directed against them and the dangers they face, be content with poverty.

Ὄνος ἵππον ἐμακάριζεν, ὡς ἀφθόνως τρεφόμενον καὶ ἐπιμελῶς, αὐτὸς μηδʼ ἀχύρων ἅλις ἔχων, καὶ ταῦτα πλεῖστα ταλαιπωρῶν. Ἐπεὶ δὲ καιρὸς ἐπέστη πολέμου, καὶ ὁ στρατιώτης ἔνοπλος ἀνέβη τὸν ἵππον, πανταχόσε τοῦτον ἐλαύνων, καὶ δὴ καὶ μέσον τῶν πολεμίων εἰσήλασε, καὶ ὁ ἵππος πληγεὶς ἔκειτο· ταῦτα πάντα ἑωρακὼς ὁ ὄνος, τὸν ἵππον μεταβαλλόμενος ἐταλάνιζεν.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οὐ δεῖ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ πλουσίους ζηλοῦν, ἀλλὰ τὸν κατʼ ἐκείνων φθόνον καὶ τὸν κίνδυνον ἀναλογιζομένους, τὴν πενίαν ἀγαπᾶν.
