Ecce porcellus tristis.
Parentes eius mortui sunt!
Ingenti clamore,
porcellus mortem parentum deflet.
Tunc testamenti tabulas legit:
magnus glandis acervus ei relinquitur,
et multi farinae modii.
Porcellus obticescit,
et non amplius flet.
Porci alii rogant,
"Cur non amplius fles?"
Porcellus eis dicit,
"Farina et glandes os mihi occludunt."
