Besedilo
Trstje in hrast
A wind uprooted an oak and cast it into a river. As it drifted along, the oak asked the reeds, “How is it that you, weak and slender as you are, are not uprooted by violent winds?” They replied, “You fight against the winds and resist them, and that is why you are uprooted. But we bow before every wind and remain unharmed.” The lesson is that one should not resist those in power, but submit and obey.

Δρῦν ἄνεμος ἐκριζώσας ἐν ποταμῷ ἔῤῥιψεν. Ἡ δὲ φερομένη τοὺς καλάμους ἐρωτᾷ· „πῶς ὑμεῖς, ἀσθενεῖς ὄντες καὶ λεπτοὶ, ὑπὸ τῶν βιαίων ἀνέμων οὐκ ἐκριζοῦσθε;“ Οἱ δὲ εἶπον· „ὑμεῖς τοῖς ἀνέμοις μάχεσθε καὶ ἀνθίστασθε, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐκριζοῦσθε· ἡμεῖς δὲ, παντὶ ἀνέμῳ ὑποπίπτοντες, ἀβλαβεῖς διαμένομεν.“
Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ ἀνθίστασθαι τοῖς κρατοῦσιν, ἀλλʼ ὑποτάττεσθαι καὶ ὑπακούειν.
