Circulator splendide vestitus est,
ornamenta aurea gerens.
Simius circulatorem pulchre vestitum vidit.
Simius eum precibus fatigat, dicens,
"Ego quoque vestem similem volo!"
Da mihi vestem et ornamenta, precor!"
Circulator simio dicit,
"Hoc tibi promitto, sed hac conditione:
catenulam quoque accipere debes.
Si catenulam accipis,
vestem pulchram tibi do."
Circulator simio vestem profert.
Vestis auro distincta est et valde pulchra.
Simius splendoris vestis mirifice cupidus est!
Simius vestem accipit, cum catenula.
Vestem induit et catenula quoque alligatus est.
Ita simius servitutem postea in vinculis patitur!
