Capra a grege longius aberrat.
Caprarius eam rursus congregare vult.
Voces eius nihil proficiunt.
Fistulae sonitus nihil proficit.
Caprarius denique lapidem mittit,
et caprae cornu forte percutit.
Caprarius, territus, rogat,
"Noli apud dominum me deferre!"
At capra dicit,
"Caprarie amentissime,
cornu sonabit,
etiamsi ego taceam."
This story is based on 318. Capra et Caprarius.
