Olitor talpam capit, eam interimere volens.
Talpa olitori dicit,
"Mi domine, ne me occidas!
Famula tua sum,
tam pulchra pelle contecta,
hortulos tuos fodiens, gratis."
Olitor respondet,
"Me non delinies his blandulis verbis.
Hortulos meos fodis, me invito.
Radicitus herbas omnes eruis,
te ipsam pascens
et me ad inopiam redigens!"
