Paterfamilias habet duodecim oves.
Vult peregrinari
et commendat oves suas lupo;
lupus compater eius est.
Lupus iurat,
"Bene conservabo oves tuas,
o compater!"
Paterfamilias abit.
Lupus interim cogitat de ovibus.
Primo die comedit de una ove,
altero die de alia ove,
et quando reversus est,
paterfamilias clamat,
"Ubi sunt oves meae duodecim?
Vix tres oves nunc invenio!"
Quaerit a lupo,
"Quid mihi dicis de aliis ovibus?"
Respondet lupus,
"Mors venit super oves,
ex temporalitate."
Et dicit paterfamilias,
"Da mihi pelles!"
Ita paterfamilias videt
vestigia dentium lupi,
et dicit lupo,
"Reus es mortis!"
Et paterfamilias lupum suspendit!
