Besedilo
Pav in kavka
When the birds met to choose a king, the peacock claimed that he should be elected because of his beauty. The birds were about to agree when a jackdaw said, “But if the eagle attacks us while you are king, how will you come to our aid?” The fable shows that rulers should be chosen not for beauty alone, but also for strength and wisdom.

Τῶν ὀρνέων βουλευσαμένων περὶ βασιλείας, ταὼς ήξίου ἑαυτὸν χειροτονεῖσθαι βασιλέα διὰ τὸ κάλλος· ὁρμωμένων δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦτο τῶν ὀρνέων, κολοιὸς εἶπεν· ,,ἀλλʼ ἐὰν σοῦ βασιλεύοντος ὁ ἀετὸς ἡμᾶς διώκῃ, πῶς ἡμῖν ἐπαρκέσεις;“
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τοὺς ἄρχοντας οὐ διὰ κάλλος μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ῥώμην καὶ φρόνησιν ἐκλέγεσθαι δεῖ.
