Ciconia semel
cum uxore sua rixata est,
et oculum uxoris extraxit
rostro suo!
Ciconia exclamat,
"Me pudet iniuriae,
quam uxori meae intuli.
Me oportet, scelestum,
in aliam regionem volare!"
Corvus, ciconiae fugienti obvians, dicit,
"O ciconia,
quae causa itineris huius est?"
Ciconia respondet,
"In aliam regionem volo
quod oculum uxoris rostro extraxi."
Corvus, ridens, rogat,
"Nonne adhuc idem rostrum habes?"
Ciconia respondet,
"Sic est ut dicis."
Et corvus,
"Quare igitur fugis?
Ut vides,
semper et ubique
rostrum tuum tecum portas!"
This story is based on 472. Ciconia et Uxor Eius.
