Volkovi in psi
The wolves said to the dogs, “Why, when you are like us in every way, do you not stand with us as brothers? We differ from you only in our way of thinking. We live together in freedom, while you bow to men and serve them, enduring their blows, wearing collars, and guarding their sheep as well. Yet when they eat, they toss you nothing but bones. But if you will listen to us, hand over all the flocks, and we shall share everything and eat our fill.” The dogs agreed to this. But once the wolves had entered the cave, the first thing they did was kill the dogs.
Those who betray their own homelands receive such rewards.

Οἱ λύκοι τοῖς κυσὶν εἶπον· „Διὰ τί ὅμοιοι ὄντες ἡμῖν ἐν πᾶσιν, οὐχ ὁμοφρονεῖτε ἡμῖν ὡς ἀδελφοί; οὐδὲν γὰρ ὑμῶν διαλλάττομεν, πλὴν τῇ γνώμῃ. Καὶ ἡμεῖς μὲν ἐλευθερίᾳ συζῶμεν· ὑμεῖς δὲ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ὑποκύπτοντες καὶ δουλεύοντες, πληγὰς παρʼ αὐτῶν ὑπομένετε, καὶ κλοιὰ περιτίθεσθε, καὶ φυλάττετε καὶ τὰ πρόβατα· ὅτε δὲ ἐσθίουσι, μόνα τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑμῖν ἐπιῤῥίπτουσι. Ἀλλʼ ἐὰν πείσησθε, πάντα τὰ ποίμνια ἔκδοτε ἡμῖν, πάντα κοινὰ εἰς κόρον ἐσθίοντες.“ Ὑπήκουσαν οὖν πρὸς ταῦτα οἱ κύνες· οἱ δὲ ἔνδον τοῦ σπηλαίου εἰσελθόντες, πρότερον τοὺς κύνας διέφθειραν.
Ὅτι οἱ τὰς ἑαυτῶν πατρίδας προδιδόντες τοιούτους μισθοὺς λαμβάνουσι.
