In quadam palude
hydrus ranam persequitur.
Rana hydrum evadere non potest
et, conversa, ei dicit,
"Noli me devorare, hydre!
Ego nulli umquam nocui."
Hydrus respondet,
"Clamore tuo et minis obstrepis
die noctuque!
Hoc testatur:
tu, rana, maleficum animal es!
Si non noces,
impotentia causa est;
dentes enim non habes."
This story is based on 603. Rana et Hydrus.
