Aquila de rupe celsa devolat.
Agnum e grege eripit!
Corvus hoc videt et aemulatione movetur.
Vehementi strepitu, corvus in arietem irruit.
Ita ungues in vellere implicat.
Alas movet, sed se explicare non potest.
Pastor corvum videt et prehendit.
Corvi alarum pennas succidit.
Corvum pueris ludibrio praebet.
Corvum ingemit et secum ait,
"Hei mihi! Aquila non sum, sed corvus."
