Lepus dormit.
Leo dormientem leporem invenit,
et confestim eum devorare parat.
Interim cerva praeterit,
et leo eam praeterientem videt.
Leo leporem relinquit,
et cervam persequitur.
Interea leonis strepitus leporem excitat.
Lepus inde fugi.
Leo autem cervam longe insequitur
sed eam adsequi non potest.
Postea ad leporem revertitur.
Sed lepus quoque fuga elapsus est,
et leo eum non reperit.
Leo dicit,
"Spem incertam sequens,
escam reieci, in manibus paratam!
Ego mehercule digna patior,
nec cervam nec leporem habens."
This story is based on 5. Leo, Lepus et Cerva.
