Vultur laute prandere vult,
et ventrem suum delicatis cibis infarcire.
Aviculas invitat ad convivium, dicens,
"O aviculae, natalem meum celebremus!"
Vulturis verba aviculas incautas fallunt.
Veniunt igitur undique et dicunt,
"Ubi sunt mensae deliciarum refertae?"
Sed vultur cibum de aviculis parat:
aviculae omnes coactae sunt,
fores occlusae sunt,
et vultur eas rapere incipit,
et mactare, et occidere.
Aviculae miserae dicunt,
"O insanas nos et vecordes!
Vulturi, inimico nostro, fidimus,
et apud vulturem escam quaerimus,
sed nos ipsae vulturis escae factae sumus."
This story is based on 458. Vultur Convivium Faciens.
