Vulpes flumen transit,
et in voraginem decidit.
Ex voragine exire non potest!
Diu male vulpi est:
multae muscae ei adhaerent!
At herinaceus forte vagatur,
et vulpem videt.
Herinaceus misericordia captus est.
Herinaceus vulpi dicit:
"Amica, si vis,
istas muscas a te abigam!"
At vulpes omnino vetat.
Herinaceus interrogat,
"Quare hoc vetas?"
Vulpes respondet:
"Istae quidem plenae sunt,
et parum sanguinis sugunt.
Si vero has abigis,
aliae venient, famelicae,
et sanguinem exhaurient totaliter."
This story is based on 180. Herinaceus, Vulpes, et Muscae.
