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, ki je nosil kip boga
A man placed a wooden idol on a donkey and led it along. Many of those they met bowed down in worship. Puffed up with pride, the donkey imagined that the country folk were bowing to him, and began to caper about, nearly throwing the god to the ground. But his master struck him with a stick and said, “You are a donkey carrying a god, not an equal of the gods.”
The fable rebukes brutish men who grow vain over honors that belong to others.

Ὄνῳ τις ἐπιθεὶς ξόανον ἦγε· πολλοὶ δὲ προσεκύνουν τῶν συναντώντων. Ὁ δὲ ὄνος τυφωθεὶς, νομίζων αὐτὸν προσκυνεῖν τοὺς ἀγροίκους, σκιρτῶν ἤμελλε τὸν θεὸν ῥῖψαι. Ἀλλὰ τοῦτον ξύλῳ παίων ὁ δεσπότης εἷπεν· ,,ὄνος εἶ θεὸν φέρων, ἀλλʼ οὐ θεοῖς ὑπάρχεις ὁμότιμος.
Κτηνώδεις ἄνδρας, τετυφωμένους ἐπʼ ἀλλοτρίοις, ὁ λόγος ἐλέγχει.
