Fabula Facilis: Lupi et Rusticus


Rusticus arietem excoriatum portat
ad forum,
et lupi eum sequuntur.
Rusticus eis dicit,
"Quamdiu me sequi proponitis?"
Lupi respondent,
"Quamdiu?
Quamdiu arietem portas!"
Rusticus clamat,
"Malo arietem dimittere
quam tales comites habere!"
Et statim arietem proiicit.
