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
Rak in lisica
A crab came up out of the sea and was feeding on a patch of ground. A hungry fox caught sight of him, came over, and seized him. As he was about to be devoured, the crab said, “I have only got what I deserve: though I belong to the sea, I chose to live on land.” The fable shows that people who abandon their own occupations and attempt things for which they are wholly unsuited naturally come to grief.

Καρκίνος, ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης ἀναβὰς, ἐπί τινος ἐνέμετο τόπου. Ἀλώπηξ δὲ λιμώττουσα, ὡς ἐθεάσατο, προσελθοῦσα ἀνέλαβεν αὐτόν. Ὁ δὲ μέλλων καταβιβρώσκεσθαι, ἔφη· „ἀλλʼ ἔγωγε δίκαια πέπονθα, ὅς, θαλάττιος ὤν, χερσαῖος ἠβουλήθην γενέσθαι.“
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ τὰ οἰκεῖα καταλείποντες ἐπιτηδεύματα, καὶ τοῖς μηδὲν προσήκουσιν ἐπιχειροῦντες, εἰκότως δυστυχοῦσιν.
