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, petelin in lev
An ass and a rooster lived on a farm. A hungry lion caught sight of the ass and was about to go in and feast on him. But just then the rooster crowed, and the lion took fright at the sound—for lions, they say, are afraid of roosters’ cries—and fled. Emboldened by the thought that the lion had been frightened by a mere rooster, the ass went out to chase him away. But once they were far from the farm, the lion turned and devoured him.
So too, some people, seeing their enemies brought low, grow overconfident and unwittingly fall victim to them.

Ἔν τινι ἐπαύλει ὄνος καὶ ἀλεκτρυὼν ἦσαν· λέων δὲ λιμώττων ὡς ἐθεάσατο τὸν ὄνον, οἷός τε ἦν εἰσελθὼν τοῦτον καταθοινήσασθαι. Περὶ δὲ τὸν ψόφον ἀλεκτρυόνος φθεγξαμένου καταπτήξας (φασὶ γὰρ, τοὺς λέοντας πτύρεσθαι πρὸς τὰς τῶν ἀλεκτρυόνων φωνὰς), εἰς φυγὴν ἐτράπη. Καὶ ὁ ὄνος ἀναπτερωθεὶς κατʼ αὐτοῦ, εἴγε ἀλεκτρυόνα ἐφοβήθη, ἐξῆλθεν ὡς ἀποδιώξων αὐτόν· ὁ δὲ, ὡς μακρὰν ἐγένετο, κατέφαγεν αὐτόν.
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἔνιοι ταπεινουμένους τοὺς ἑαυτῶν ἐχθροὺς ὁρῶντες, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καταθρασυνόμενοι, λανθάνουσιν ὑπʼ αὐτῶν ἀναλισκόμενοι.
