Ursus ab ape ictus est.
Magna ira incensus,
alvaria unguibus discerpit.
Tunc autem
apes omnes eum aggressae sunt,
et eum aculeis paene necant!
Ursus vix effugit et dicit,
"Sane verum est:
unius apis aculeum tolerare
melius erat quam
tot hostes in me excitare
iracundiā meā."
This story is based on 133. Ursus et Apes.
