Esopo 332

Ἀλώπηξ καὶ κύων.

Ἀλώπηξ εἰς ἀγέλην προβάτων εἰσελθοῦσα, θηλαζόντων τῶν ἀρνίων ἓν ἀναλαβομένη, προσεποιεῖτο καταφιλεῖν. Ἐρωτηθεῖσα δὲ ὑπὸ κυνὸς τί τοῦτο ποιεῖ· ” Τιθηνοῦμαι αὐτὸ, ἔφη, καὶ προσπαίζω.”  Καὶ ὁ κύων ἔφη· “Καὶ νῦν, ἐὰν μὴ ἀφῇς τὸ ἀρνίον ἀφʼ ἑαυτῆς, τὰ κυνῶν σοι προσοίσω.”

Πρὸς ἄνδρα ῥᾳδιουργὸν καὶ μῶρον κλέπτην ὁ λόγος εὔκαιρος.
