Iuppiter nuptias celebrat.
Animalia cuncta ei munera offerunt,
quaeque pro viribus suis.
Serpens itaque rosam decerpit
et rosam in ore suo fert,
ad Iovem accedens.
Iuppiter serpentem videt et dicit,
"Ceterorum omnium dona excipio,
sed ab ore tuo nihil prorsus sumo."
Fabula docet:
Improborum gratiae timendae sunt.
This story is based on 773. Iuppiter et Serpens.
