Duo viatores in solitudine errant.
Ecce, asinum vident!
Accurrunt, laeti, et asinum capiunt.
Mox autem contentio inter eos est:
quis asinum domum abducet?
Hic viator clamat,
"Ego prior asinum vidi,
et ego mihi asinum vindico."
Ille viator clamat,
"Haudquaquam!
Ego prior asinum vidi,
et ego mihi asinum vindico."
Dum viatores de asino sic clamant,
asinus aufugit
et neuter lucrum facit.
Si duo litigant, tertius gaudet!
