Fabula Facilis: Perdix et Auceps


Auceps retia extendit.
Perdicem captat!
Perdix captata supplicabunde rogat,
"O auceps, me demitte!
Tibi promitto:
ego in retia plurimas aves alliciam!
Auceps perdici dicit,
"Nequaquam hoc faciam.
Procul dubio me decipies,
si sodales tuos prodes."
Fabula docet:
Fidem adhibere non oportet eis,
qui alios fallunt.

This story is based on 528. Perdix et Auceps.
