Besedilo
Pastir in volk
A shepherd found a newborn wolf cub, took it home, and raised it among his dogs. When it had grown, whenever a wolf carried off a sheep, it would join the dogs in pursuit. Sometimes the dogs could not catch the wolf and turned back, but the young wolf would keep following until it caught up and, being a wolf itself, shared in the feast. Then it would return. If no wolf came from outside to carry off a sheep, it would secretly kill one itself and feast on it with the dogs. At last the shepherd suspected what was happening, discovered the truth, and hanged the wolf from a tree.
The fable shows that an evil nature cannot nurture a good character.

Ποιμὴν, νεογνὸν λύκου σκύμνον εὑρὼν καὶ ἀνελόμενος, σὺν τοῖς κυσὶν ἔτρεφεν. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ηὐξήθη, εἴ ποτε λύκος πρόβατον ἥρπασε, μετὰ τῶν κυνῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδίωκε. Τῶν δὲ κυνῶν ἔσθʼ ὅτε μὴ δυναμένων καταλαβεῖν τὸν λύκον, καὶ διὰ ταῦτα ὑποστρεφόντων, ἐκεῖνος ἠκολούθει, μέχρις ἂν τοῦτον καταλαβὼν, οἷα δὴ λύκος, συμμετάσχῃ τῆς θήρας· εἶτα ὑπέστρεφεν. Εἰ δὲ μὴ λύκος ἔξωθεν ἁρπάσειε πρόβατον, αὐτὸς λάθρᾳ θύων ἅμα τοῖς κυσὶν ἐθοινεῖτο, ἕως ὁ ποιμὴν στοχασάμενος καὶ συνεὶς τὸ δρώμενον, εἰς δένδρον αὐτὸν ἀναρτήσας ἀπέκτεινεν.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι φύσις πονηρὰ χρηστὸν ἦθος οὐ τρέφει.
