Fabula Facilis: Haedus et Lupus Fores Pulsans


Capra, in pascua exiens,
haedum domi concludit.
Mater monet nemini aperire,
dum ipsa redeat.
Lupus id audit!
Post haedi matris discessum,
fores pulsat et voce caprissat,
iubens,
"Mater sum; fores aperi!"
Haedus dolum praesentit,
et dicit,
"Non aperio,
nam etsi vox caprissat,
tamen lupum per rimas video."

This story is based on 328. Haedus et Lupus Fores Pulsans.
