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
Svetilka
A lamp, drunk on oil and burning brightly, boasted that it shone more brilliantly than the sun. But when a gust of wind whistled past, it went out at once. As someone lit it again, he said to it, “Shine, lamp, and be silent. The light of the stars never goes out.” The lesson is that no one should be puffed up by the splendor and glory of life, for whatever one may acquire belongs to another.

Μεθύων λύχνος [ἐν] ἐλαίῳ καὶ φέγγων, ἐκαυχᾶτο, ὡς ὑπὲρ ἥλιον πλέον λάμπει. Ἀνέμου δὲ πνοῆς συρισάσης, εὐθὺς ἐσβέσθη. Ἐκ δευτέρου δὲ ἅπτων τις εἶπεν αὐτῷ· „φαῖνε λύχνε καὶ σίγα· τῶν ἀστέρων τὸ φέγγος οὔποτε ἐκλείπει.“
Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ τινα ἐν τοῖς λαμπροῖς καὶ τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ βίου τυφοῦσθαι· ὅσα γὰρ ἂν κτήσηται, ξένα τυγχάνει.
