Esopo 314

Βάτραχος ⟨ἰατρὸς⟩ καὶ ἀλώπηξ.

Ὄντος ποτὲ βατράχου ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ καὶ τοῖς ζῴοις πᾶσιν ἀναβοήσαντος· ” Ἐγὼ ἰατρός εἰμι φαρμάκων ἐπιστήμων”, ἀλώπηξ ἀκούσασα ἔφη· “Πῶς σὺ ἄλλους σώσεις, σαυτὸν χωλὸν ὄντα μὴ θεραπεύων;”

Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι ὁ παιδείας ἀμύητος ὑπάρχων, πῶς ἄλλους παιδεῦσαι δυνήσεται;
