Fabula Facilis: Perdix et Galli


Homo quidam domi gallos habet.
Perdicem emit
et eam alit saginatque cum gallis.
Galli autem perdicem mordent
et abigunt.
Perdix igitur apud se afflictata est.
Sic existimat,
"Galli me mordent et abigunt
quod gallus non sum.
Genus meum alienum est
a gallorum genere."
Sed non multo post,
gallos aspicit
mutuo pugnantes et percutientes.
Perdix a tristitia recreata est et dicit,
"Post haec amplius tristis non ero.
Galli me mordent et percutiunt,
sed gallos video
pugnantes etiam inter se!"

This story is based on 525. Perdix et Galli.
