Besedilo
Pes in volk
A dog lay sleeping outside a farmhouse. A wolf rushed up and was about to kill him for food, but the dog begged him not to eat him just yet. “As you see,” he said, “I am thin and scrawny now. But if you wait a little, my masters are going to hold a wedding feast. Then I shall have plenty to eat and grow fatter, and I shall make you a tastier meal.” Persuaded by this, the wolf went away. A few days later he returned and found the dog asleep up on the roof. Standing below, he called to the dog to come down, reminding him of their agreement. But the dog replied, “Well, wolf, if you ever find me sleeping outside the farmhouse again, do not wait for a wedding!” The fable shows that sensible people, once they have escaped a danger, guard against it for the rest of their lives.

Κύων πρὸ ἐπαύλεώς τινος ἐκάθευδε. Λύκου δʼ ἐπιδραμόντος καὶ βρῶμα μέλλοντος θύσειν αὐτὸν, ἐδεῖτο μὴ νῦν αὐτὸν καταθῦσαι. „Νῦν μὲν γὰρ“ φησὶ „λεπτός εἰμι καὶ ἰσχνός· ἂν δὲ μικρὸν ἀναμείνῃς, μέλλουσιν οἱ ἐμοὶ δεσπόται ποιήσειν γάμους, κἀγὼ τηνικαῦτα πολλὰ φαγὼν πιμελέστερος ἔσομαι, καὶ σοὶ ἡδύτερον βρῶμα γενήσομαι.“ Ὁ μὲν οὖν λύκος πεισθεὶς ἀπῆλθε· μεθʼ ἡμέρας δʼ ἐπανελθὼν εὗρεν ἄνω ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος τὸν κύνα καθεύδοντα, καὶ στὰς κάτωθεν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ἐκάλει, ὑπομιμνήσκων αὐτὸν τῶν συνθηκῶν. Καὶ ὁ κύων· „ἀλλʼ, ὦ λύκε, εἰ τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦδε πρὸ τῆς ἐπαύλεώς με ἴδοις καθεύδοντα, μηκέτι γάμους ἀναμείνῃς.“
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οἱ φρόνιμοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅταν περί τι κινδυνεύσαντες σωθῶσι, διὰ βίου τοῦτο φυλάττονται.
