Pavo mansuetus et curialis est,
et plumis pulchris ornatus.
Pavo inter ceteras aves distinctus est;
quam diversi eius colores sunt!
Pavo ad avium congregationem venit.
Corvus quoque venit et pavoni dicit,
"O pavo, da mihi pennas duas."
Pavo interrogat,
"Quid facies pro me?"
Corvus respondet,
"Alta voce coram avibus te laudabo!"
Pavo pennas suas corvo concedit.
Similiter cornix petit et impetrat;
sic cuculus facit et multae aliae aves.
Denique pavo totus deplumatus remanet.
Debet pullos suos alis protegere,
sed non potest, quia pennas non habet.
Supervenit frigus et pavo perit.
Pulli ab eo recedunt,
et vivunt prout possunt.
