Fabula Facilis: Olores et Anseres


Olores et anseres
amici inter se sunt.
Quondam exeunt in campos.
Oloribus et anseribus
coniunctim pascentibus,
superveniunt venatores.
Olores evolant
et tuto evadunt periculum,
corporis celeritatis gratiā.
Anseres autem,
naturā tardiores,
deserti ab amicis,
in venatorum manus incidunt.
Haec fabula eos arguit
qui amicos suos non adiuvant
totis viribus,
sed produnt in periculis.
