Canis venaticus quondam velox erat.
Ceteris canibus velocitate olim praecellebat,
hero magno usui et emolumento.
Sed nunc canis longaevus est et imbellis.
Cervum persequitur et fortuito eum apprehendit!
Sed, dentibus privatus, mox cervum demittit.
Herus valde iratus est!
Canem verbis et verberibus increpat.
Sed canis ei dicit,
"O dure et severe mihi magister,
quare multifaria mea merita tam male pensitas?"
This story is based on 377. Canis Vetulus et Magister.
