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
Volk in lisica
A large, powerful wolf was born among the wolves, and they called him a lion. Foolishly, he let this reputation go to his head, deserted his own kind, and took to keeping company with lions. A fox mocked him, saying, “May I never become as puffed up with pride as you are now! You do indeed look like a lion among wolves, but beside lions you turn out to be a wolf.” This fable is for those who grow conceited when flatterers praise them beyond their merits, but come to know themselves when put to the test.

Λύκος τις ἁδρὸς ἐν λύκοις ἐγεννήθη, λέοντα δʼ αὐτὸν ἐπεκάλουν· ὁ δʼ ἀγνώμων τὴν δόξαν οὐκ ἤνεγκε, τῶν δὲ συμφύλων ἀποστατήσας τοῖς λέουσιν ὡμίλει. κερδὼ δʼ ἐπισκώπτουσα „μὴ φρενωθείην“ ἔφη „τοσοῦτον, ὡς σὺ νῦν ἐτυφώθης· σὺ γὰρ ὡς ἀληθῶς ἐν λύκοις λέων φαίνῃ, ἐν δʼ οὖ λεόντων συγκρίσει λύκος γίγνῃ.“
Πρὸς τοὺς ὑπὸ τῶν κολάκων οὐκ ὀρθῇ κρίσει ἐπαινουμένους καὶ μέγα φρονοῦντας, ἐλεγχομένους δὲ ἑαυτοὺς ἐπιγινώσκοντας.
