O izvirniku

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
Svinja in psica
A sow and a dog were arguing about which gave birth more easily. The dog claimed that she gave birth more easily than any other land animal. The sow retorted, “But when you say that, remember that you give birth to your puppies blind.” The fable shows that things are judged not by the speed with which they are done, but by their perfection.

Ὗς καὶ κύων περὶ εὐτοκίας ἤριζον· ἔφη δʼ ἡ κύων, εὔτοκος εἶναι μάλιστα πάντων τῶν πεζῶν ζώων. Καὶ ἡ ὗς ὑποτυχοῦσα πρὸς ταῦτα φησίν· ,,ἀλλʼ ὅταν τοῦτο λέγῃς, ἴσθι, ὅτι καὶ τυφλούς τοὺς σαυτῆς σκύλακας τίκτεις.“
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ τάχει τὰ πράγματα, ἀλλʼ ἐν τῇ τελειότητι κρίνεται.
