De formositate certamen est
inter hirundinem et corvum.
Corvus hirundini exprobrat, dicens,
"Formam tuam conspici non potest,
nisi veris tempore,
hieme autem
non potest resistere frigori."
Hirundine nihil respondente,
corvus addit,
"Meum vero corpus
et frigori hieme
et calori aestate par est."
This story is based on 485. Hirundo et Corvus.
