A fox fell into a wolf’s clutches and begged him not to kill her, for she was old. The wolf said, “If you tell me three truths, you shall go free.” She said, “I wish I had never met you,” and “May you not live through this hour,” and “May you never cross my path again.” When someone falls into dire straits, even the secret wishes of the heart are revealed.

Εἰς λύκον ἀλώπηξ ἐνέπεσεν· ἐδυσώπει δὲ ὡς γραῦν αὐτὴν οὖσαν μὴ ἀποκτεῖναι. Ὁ δὲ λύκος ἔφη· „ἐὰν τρεῖς λόγους ἀληθεῖς εἴπῃς μοι, ἀπολυθήσῃ.“ Ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· „εἴθε μή σοι συνήντησα,“ καὶ „μηδαμῶς τῇ ὥρᾳ ταύτῃ ζήσαις,“ καὶ „μήπως πάλιν συναντήσαις μοι.“

Ὅτι ἐν περιστάσει τις ἐμπεσών, καὶ τὰς κεκρυμμέωας τῆς ψυχῆς βουλὰς ἐξάγει.
