Sus et leaena ad invicem litigant.
Sus autem leaenae dicit,
“Et tu, in quo te iactas?
Pro qua re elevata es
tantam in superbiam?
Labor tuus inanis est:
per annum unum laboras,
et unum catulum solum habes.
Ego fecunda sum
et grata hominibus.
Per duos quosque menses
porto quattuordecim porcellos.”
Leaena respondet,
“Verum est,
sed tu paris porcellos,
ego leonem.”
Haec fabula
exemplum est hominis verbosi,
qui multa loquitur inutilia.
Sapiens autem
paucis contentus est verbis.
This story is based on 9. Leaena et Sus.
