Fabula Facilis: Mus in Cista Natus


Mus in cista natus est.
In cista omnem aetatem ducit.
In cista sunt nuces,
et mus cotidie nuces comedit.
Dum autem mus ludit
circa oras cistae,
decidit!
Quaerens ascensum,
reperit epulas optime paratas.
Mus epulas gustat et dicit,
"Quam stultus hactenus fui!
Credebam
in toto terrarum orbe
nihil melius cistula mea esse.
Nuces vero suaves erant;
suaviores autem cibos nunc comedo!"
