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
Pav in žerjav
A peacock mocked a crane, ridiculing the color of his plumage and saying, “I am clothed in gold and purple, while you have nothing beautiful in your feathers.” “But I,” replied the crane, “cry out close to the stars and soar to the heights of heaven, while you, like a rooster, walk below among the barnyard birds.” It is better to be held in high regard in humble clothes than to live without distinction, glorying in wealth.

Ταὼν γεράνου κατεγέλα, κωμῳδῶν τὴν χροιὰν αὐ- τοῦ καὶ λέγων ὡς ,,ἐγὼ μὲν χρυσὸν καὶ πορφύραν ἐν- δέδυμαι, σύ δὲ οὐδὲν καλὸν φέρεις ἐν πτεροῖς.“ Ὁ δὲ ,,ἀλλʼ ἐγώ “ ἔφη ,,τῶν ἀστέρων ἔγγιστα φωνῶ, καὶ εἰς τὰ οὐράνια ὕψη ἵπταμαι· σὺ δὲ, ὡς ἀλέκτωρ, κάτω μετʼ ὀρνίθων βαίνεις.“
Ὅτι κρεῖττον περίβλεπτον εἶναί τινα ἐν πενιχρᾷ ἐσθῆτι ἢ ζῆν ἀδόξως ἐν πλούτῳ γαυρούμενον.
