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 sol
An ass carrying a load of salt was crossing a river when he slipped and fell into the water. The salt dissolved, and he rose with a lighter load. Delighted by this, he thought, when he later crossed a river laden with sponges, that if he fell again, he would get up with a lighter burden. So he deliberately let himself slip. But the sponges soaked up the water, and he could not get to his feet again and drowned there.
So too, some people fail to see that their own schemes are the cause of their misfortunes.

Ὄνος ἅλας βαστάζων ποταμὸν διήρχετο· ὀλισθήσας δὲ ὡς κατέπεσεν εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ, ἐκτακέντος τοῦ ἁλὸς, κουφότερος ἐξανέστη· εὐφρανθεὶς δὲ ἐπὶ τούτῳ, ἐπειδὴ ὕστερόν ποτε σπόγγους ἐμπεφορτισμένος ποταμὸν διέβαινεν, ώήθη [δεῖν] ὅτι, ἐὰν πάλιν πέσῃ, ἐλαφρότερος διεγερθήσεται· καὶ δὴ ἑκὼν ὠλίσθησε. Συνέβη δʼ αὐτῷ, τῶν σπόγγων ἀνασπασάντων τὸ ὕδωρ, μὴ δυναμένῳ ἐξανίστασθαι, ἐνταῦθα ἀποπνιγῆναι.
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἔνιοι τὰς ἰδίας ἐπινοίας ανθάνουσι συμφορῶν αἰτίας ἔχοντες.
