Besedilo
Vdova in ovca
In a certain place there lived a widow who owned a sheep. Wishing to take its fleece, she sheared it so clumsily that she clipped its flesh along with its wool. In pain, the sheep said, “Why are you hurting me? How much weight will my blood add to the fleece? If it is meat you want, mistress, there is a butcher who will slaughter me in a moment. But if it is wool and fleece, there is a shearer who will shear me and leave me unharmed.” Those who, out of greed, take on work in which they have no experience reap more harm than profit.

Ἐν τόπῳ τινὶ χήρα τις εἶχε πρόβατον. Τούτου δὲ τὸν πόκον λαβεῖν θέλουσα, ἔκειρεν ἀτέχνως, σὺν τῷ μαλλῷ καὶ τὴν σάρκα ψαλίζουσα. Τὸ δὲ πρόβατον ἀλγοῦν ἔλεγε· ,,τί με βλάπτεις; πόσην γὰρ ὁλκὴν τὸ ἐμὸν αἷμα προσθήσει; Καὶ εἰ μὲν κρεῶν, ὦ δέσποινα, χρῄζεις, μάγειρος ἔστιν, ὃς μὲ συντόμως θύσει· εἰ δʼ ἐρίου καὶ πόκου, κουρεὺς ἔστι πάλιν, ὃs καὶ κερεῖ με καὶ σώσει.“
Οἱ ἀπειρίαν πράγματός τινος ἔχοντες καὶ διὰ πλεονεξίαν τοῦτο μεταχειριζόμενοι οὐ τοσοῦτον κέρδος, ὅσην βλάβην καρποῦνται.
