The rooster and the pearl (1 translation)

English:

A young rooster was looking for food in the manure when he found a pearl. "What a fine thing you are," he exclaimed, "and in what an unfortunate situation! If a person longing to possess something of such value had found you, you would have been restored to your original splendour. Yet it is I who have found you, when I would have much preferred to find some food instead. So this isn't going to do you any good, and it doesn't do me any good either!"

Polijolè:

Juna virkoko serĉis manĝon en la sterko kiam li trovis perlon. "Kia belaĵo vi estas," li ekkriis, "kaj en kia bedaŭrinda situacio! Se homo, kiu sopiras trovi ion tiom valoran, trovus vin, vi estus restaŭrita al via originala pompo. Sed estis mi, kiu trovis vin, kiam mi preferus trovi manĝaĵon anstataŭe. Do tio ne utilos por vi, kaj ĝi nek utilas por mi!"

The dog and the lamb among the goats (2 translations)

English:

A dog met a lamb who was bleating among the she-goats and said, 'You fool, your mother is not here.' As he spoke, the dog pointed to a separate flock of sheep grazing in the distance. 'I do not want that mother!' said the lamb. 'She conceives when it is her pleasure, carries her unknown burden for a certain number of months, and in the end she simply lets go and plops her bundle on the ground. No, I am looking for the mother who offers me her udder and feeds me, and even cheats her own children of milk so that I will not go hungry.' 'Still, the one who gave birth to you is more important,' said the dog. 'Not correct,' replied the lamb. 'Was it some great favour that she brought me into the world when I might expect the arrival of the butcher at any moment? Could she even be certain whether I would be born black or white? And if perhaps she would have preferred a girl, what would she have thought of me, since I am a boy? Given that she took no decision in the matter of my conception, why should I now prefer that mother to the mother who took pity on me as I was lying there and who freely offers me her sweet affection?'

The snake and the farmer (6 translations)

English:

In the house of a certain farmer there lived a snake who regularly came to the table and was fed on scraps of food. Not long afterwards the farmer grew rich, but then he became angry at the snake and tried to attack him with an axe. The farmer then lost his wealth and he realized that he had prospered because of the good luck he had gained from the snake before having wounded him. The farmer then begged the snake to forgive him for his evil deed, and the snake replied, "You are sorry for what you have done, but you must not expect me to be your faithful friend until this scar heals. It is not possible for me to be truly reconciled to you until all thought of that treacherous axe has left my mind."

Ές εν οίνος φρίμελι τέγi πεῖς νάτριξ λέκτ πεῖς κεῖστος βοῦε πους τράπης άπε βιῆτει βιάτον οστὰτακον. Νε σῖρος κυι σό φρίμελος λώγκος τούμισσι, δορῖ πὰν άλτ ρεῖγκος γρε νάτρικος άπε χαρέκτ χρεβίνομνος ές αυ βιάλιν. Φρίμελος πὰν αύρουστο ζῶ οὺχλαυτον άπε ϝίσσε κϝισσὶσσι χὰριδη χράτον πίδ ές δῆτο αυ νάτρικος χρις βρούσνα ές. Φρίμελος πὰν προσὶσσι νάτρικαν αμνήσκοντην ές αυ ζῶ λούκι γνίϝονος, άπε νάτριξ τὶνουγκτ, „Τού ζιὰλιβηκος έσι κυι πίδ γνίιτου δορῖ νῖσι τρηβήτεσι προσκοντος έσην τωύ θρῆσκος κάρανς πος σό κρέντος γοῒσσι. Πινὸς νῖς ϝῖρος πῆκατιος αῦρε τού πος ωύληδ μάνης σό λορῆς βιάλεις λίμπισσι μοί μέγμαναν.”
