In Aegypto,
canes bibunt ex Nilo flumine,
et quando bibunt, currunt.
Hoc modo crocodillos effugiunt!
Crocodilus quidam igitur
sic cani dicit,
qui ex Nilo bibit, rapide currens:
"Noli timere, amice!
Bibe, quaeso, quod tibi libet."
Canis crocodilo sic respondet:
"Facerem hoc quod dicis,
sed scio bene:
tu carnis meae cupidus es!"
