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
A man loaded a sacred statue onto a donkey and led it toward the city. As the people they met bowed down before the statue, the donkey imagined they were bowing to him. Puffed up with pride, he began to bray and refused to go any farther. When the driver realized what was happening, he beat the donkey with his club and said, “You blockhead! This is all we needed—to see people bowing down before a donkey!” The fable shows that those who boast of another’s merits make themselves ridiculous to those who know them.

Ὄνῳ τις ἐπιθεὶς ἄγαλμα ἦγεν εἰς ἄστυ. Τῶν δὲ συναντώντων προσκυνούντων τὸ ἄγαλμα, ὁ ὄνος ὑπολαβὼν, ὅτι αὐτὸν προσκυνοῦσιν, ἀναπτερωθεὶς ὠγκᾶτό τε καὶ οὐκέτι περαιτέρω προιέναι ἐβούλετο. Καὶ ὁ ὀνηλάτης αἰσθόμενος τὸ γεγονὸς, τῷ ῥοπάλῳ αὐτὸν παίων ἔφη· ,,ὡ κακὴ κεφαλὴ, ἔτι καὶ τοῦτο λοιπὸν ἦν, ὄνον ὑπʼ ἀνθρώπων προσκυνεῖσθαι.“
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οἱ τοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις ἀγαθοῖς ἐπαλαζονευόμενοι παρὰ τοῖς εἰδόσιν αὐτοὺς γέλωτα ὀφλισκάνουσι.
