"Singularis industria mihi est:
animalium habitūs exprimere possum
et omnes eorum gestūs imitari scio!"
Vulpecula respondet,
"Ego lubens tibi concedo:
nullum animal est,
quod imitari non potes.
Sed tu vicissim mihi concedis:
nullum animal est,
quod te imitari vult."
This story is based on 113. Simius Glorians et Vulpecula.
