Prevod

A shepherd was in the habit of feeding his dog on the sheep that died. One day he saw the dog standing beside a sick lamb, looking downcast and seemingly in tears. Stroking him, he said, “It is good of you to show such sympathy. But may what you wish for never come to pass.” Such is the nature of every heir.

Izvirnik

Ποιμὴν σκύλακα εἰώθει τρέφειν ἐκ τῶν θνησκόντων προβάτων. Καὶ δή ποτε ἐγγὺς ἀμνάδος νοσούσης ἵστάμενον εἶδε τὸν κύνα, κατηφῆ καὶ δοκοῦντα δακρύειν· καὶ ὁμαλίζων αὐτὸν εἶπεν· ,,καλῶς ποιεῖς συμπαθῶν· πλὴν ἀλλὰ μὴ γένοιτο μηδὲ συμβαίη ὅπερ θέλεις.“

Ὅτι τοιοῦτος πᾶς ἐστιν, ὃς κληρονόμος ἐστίν.
