Animalia olim contendunt.
"Quis liberos pulcherrimos habet?" quaerunt.
Omnia animalia adsunt cum liberis suis.
Venit simia quoque,
et catulos suos brachio gestat.
Cum simiam vident,
cetera animalia rident.
Continuo simia exclamat,
"Immo catuli mei sunt aliis longe pulchriores!"
This story is based on 107. Simia et Catuli Eius. Notice that in the image it is Zeus, depicted as a human king, who is the judge in the beauty contest of the baby animals.
