Fabula Facilis: Carbonarius et Fullo


Carbonarius spatiosam habet domum.
Invitat fullonem his verbis,
"O fullo, domus mea spatiosa est.
Ad me commigrare debes."
Fullo carbonario respondet,
“Inter nos societas esse non potest.
Ego vestes reddo nitidas,
sed tu eas fuligine et maculis inquinas."

This story is based on 863. Carbonarius et Fullo.
