Mus urbanus rus deambulat.
Mus rusticus murem urbanum videt.
Eum invitat ad cenam.
Omne penum depromit, dicens,
"Hospes mi, ecce omne penum meum.
Volo lautitiam tuam explere."
Sed mus urbanus ruris inopiam damnat,
et urbis copiam laudat, rustico dicens,
"Mi amice, te invito ad cenam urbanam!"
Murem rusticum secum in urbem ducit.
Sed dum laute cenant, clamores audiunt.
Mus rusticus clamoribus insolitis attonitus est.
Mus urbanus ei dicit,
"Noli te sollicitare!
Huius modi periculum quotidianum est."
Sed mus rusticus respondet,
"Tuae dapes plus fellis quam mellis habent!
Malo securus esse cum mea inopia
quam dives esse cum tua anxietate."
This story is based on 196. Mures Duo.
