Vulpes esuriens est.
Aves simplices fallere volens,
abiicit se in viam, quasi mortua.
Vulpes sic cogitat,
"Aves, me mortuam videntes,
ad me advolare non timebunt."
Corvus autem vulpem observat diligentius.
Corvus sic cogitat,
"Vulpes, ut video, etiam spirat!"
Circumvolitans, corvus vulpi dicit,
"Meus oculus
non minus subdolus est
quam cor tuum."
Fabula docet:
Fur furi manifestus est,
sicut lupus lupo.
