Fabula Facilis: Ranae et Sol


Ranae laetae sunt!
Nuntius eis dicit,
"Sol uxorem ducit!"
Sed rana una ceteris prudentior est,
et aliis dicit,
"O vos, cives stolidos,
nonne periculum videtis?
Aestus unius Solis
saepe nos excruciat!
Quid igitur
si liberos etiam procreat?"

This story is based on 607. Ranae et Sol.
