Praesepe faeni plenum est.
In praesepe canis decumbit.
Bos advenit et faenum comedere vult.
Canis invidus est!
Confestim se erigit et tota voce elātrat,
"Hoc faenum meum est!"
Bos respondet,
“Dii te perdant cum ista tua invidia!
Tu enim faeno non vesceris,
et me vesci non sinis.”
This story is based on 357. Canis in Praesepi et Bos.
