Cornix sitibunda est.
Urnam reperit, aqua plenam.
Sed urna profunda est.
Quod urna profunda est,
cornix urnam exhaurire non potest.
Cornix aquam effundere conatur,
sed molimen eius vanum est.
Cornix aquam effundere non valet.
Cornix igitur ex arena lapillulos legit.
Lapillulos in urnam iniectat.
Hoc modo aqua levatur et cornix bibit.
Fabula docet:
Necessitas est ingenii mater.
