Besedilo
Zajci in žabe
The hares, condemning themselves for their cowardice, decided to throw themselves off a cliff. When they came to a cliff overlooking a lake, the frogs there heard the sound of their footsteps and plunged into the depths of the lake. Seeing this, one of the hares said to the others, “Let us not throw ourselves over after all. Look, we have found creatures even more timid than we are.” So too, among human beings, the misfortunes of others bring comfort in one’s own troubles.

Λαγωοὶ καταγνόντες ἑαυτῶν δειλίαν ἔγνωσαν δεῖν ἑαυτοὺς κατακρημνίσαι. Παραγενομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἐπί τινα κρημνὸν, ᾧ λίμνη ἐπέκειτο, ἐνταῦθα βάτραχοι ἀκούσαντες τῆς ποδοψοφίας ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὰ βάθη τῆς λίμνης ἐδίδοσαν. Εἷς δέ τις τῶν λαγωῶν θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς ἔφη πρὸς τοὺς ἑτέρους· „ἀλλὰ μηκέτι ἑαυτοὺς κατακρημνίσωμεν· ἰδοὺ γὰρ εὕρηνται καὶ ἡμῶν δειλότερα ζῶα.“
Οὕτω καὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις αἰ τῶν ἄλλων δυστυχίαι τῶν ἰδίων δυστυχημάτων παραμύθιον γίνονται.
