Besedilo
Osel in vrtnar
An ass in the service of a gardener, who gave him little to eat and worked him hard, prayed to Zeus to deliver him from the gardener and place him in another master’s hands. Zeus sent Hermes with orders to sell him to a potter. But the ass was unhappy again, for he was forced to carry far heavier loads, and once more he called upon Zeus. At last Zeus arranged for him to be sold to a tanner. When the ass saw what his new master did, he said, “I would rather have gone hungry carrying loads for my former masters than have come here, where I shall not even be buried when I die.” The fable shows that servants long most keenly for their former masters when they have had a taste of others.

Ὄνος κηπωρῷ δουλεύων, ἐπειδὴ ὀλίγα μὲν ἤσθιε, πολλὰ δὲ ἐκακοπάθει, ηὔξατο τῷ Διὶ, ὅπως τοῦ κηπωροῦ αὐτὸν ἀπαλλάξας, ἑτέρῳ δεσπότῃ ἐγχειρίσῃ. Ὁ δὲ Ἑρμῆν πέμψας ἐκέλευε κεραμεῖ αὐτὸν πωλῆσαι. Πάλιν δὲ αὐτοῦ δυσφοροῦντος, ἐπειδὴ καὶ πολλῷ πλεῖον ἀχθοφορεῖν ἠναγκάζετο, καὶ τὸν Δία ἐπικαλουμένου, τὸ τελευταῖον ὁ Ζεὺς παρεσκεύασεν αὐτὸν βυρσοδέψῃ πωληθῆναι. Καὶ ὁ ὄνος ἰδὼν τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ δεσπότου πραττόμενα, ἔφη· ,,ἀλλʼ ἔμοιγε αἱρετώτερον ἦν παρὰ τοῖς προτέροις δεσπόταις ἀχθοφοροῦντι λιμώττειν, ἢ ἐνταῦθα παραγενέσθαι, ὅπου οὐδὲ, ἂν ἀποθάνω, ταφῆς τεύξομαι.“
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τότε μάλιστα τοὺς πρώτους δεσπότας ποθοῦσιν οἱ οἰκέται, ὅταν ἑτέρων πεῖραν λάβωσι.
