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
Pastir in volk
A wolf once decided to disguise his true nature by changing his appearance, hoping in this way to secure an abundance of food. So he put on a sheepskin and grazed among the flock, deceiving the shepherd with his trick. When night fell, the shepherd shut the beast in the fold along with the sheep, barred the entrance, and made the enclosure thoroughly secure. But when the shepherd wanted something to eat, he killed the wolf with his knife.
So it is that those who assume a guise not their own have often lost their lives, finding that their disguise has brought great misfortune upon them.

Ἔδοξέ ποτε τῷ λύκῳ τὴν φύσιν τῷ σχήματι μεταλλάξασθαι, ὡς ἂν οὕτως ἀφθονίαν ἕξῃ τροφῆς· καὶ δορὰν οἰὸς περιβεβλημένος μετὰ τῆς ποίμνης ἐνέμετο, τὸν ποιμένα φενακίσας τῷ μηχανήματι. Νυκτὸς δὲ γενομένης, συναπεκλείσθη καὶ ὁ θὴρ παρὰ τοῦ ποιμένος τῇ μάνδρᾳ, καὶ φραγμὸς τῇ εἰσόδῳ περιετέθη, καὶ ἀτεχνῶς ὁ περίβολος κατησφάλιστο. Ὡς δὲ ὁ ποιμὴν ἠράσθη τροφῆς, μαχαίρᾳ τὸν λύκον ἀπέκτεινεν.
Οὕτως ἄρα ὁ τὸν ἐπείσακτον κόσμον ὑποκριθεὶς τῆς ζωῆς πολλάκις ἐστέρηται, καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν εὗρε παραιτίαν μεγάλου συμπτώματος.
