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
Strahopetni lovec in drvar
A hunter was looking for a lion’s tracks. He asked a woodcutter whether he had seen any tracks and where the lion had its lair. “I can show you the lion himself this very moment,” the woodcutter replied. But the hunter turned pale with fear, and his teeth began to chatter. “I am only looking for his tracks,” he said, “not the lion himself.” The fable exposes those who are bold yet cowardly—brave in words alone, but not in deeds.

Λέοντός τινος ἴχνη ἐζήτει κυνηγός· δρυοτόμον δὲ ἐρωτήσας, εἰ εἶδεν ἴχνη λέοντος, καὶ ποῦ κοιτάζει, ἔφη· ,,καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν λέοντα ἤδη σοι δείξω.“ Ὁ δὲ ὠχριάσας ἐκ τοῦ φόβου, καὶ τούς ὀδόντας συγκρούων εἶπεν· ,,ἴχνη μόνα ζητῶ, οὐχὶ αὐτὸν τὸν λέοντα.“
Ὅτι τούς θρασεῖς καὶ δειλούς ὁ λόγος ἐλέγχει, τούς τολμηροὺς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις μόνοις καὶ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις.
