Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)
344. THE CHARIOT DRIVER
Perry 428 (Aristophanes,
Wasps 1427 ff.)
A man of Sybaris fell out of his chariot and hit his head on the ground,
since he was not a very experienced driver. Another man who was a friend
of his came up and said, 'Everybody should stick to what he knows!'
Note: For another Sybaritic fable, see Fable 180.
