Fabula Facilis: Cervus et Hinnulus Eius

Vocabula

Cervus praegrandi corpore est,
et cornua ingentia habet.
Cum per silvas ambulat,
hinnulus ei accedit et dicit,
"Mi pater, pro miraculo mihi est hoc:
tu tam praegrandi corpore es
et cornua tam praeclara habes,
sed latratūs canum exhorrescis."
Cervus hinnulo dicit,
"Mi fili, corpus magnum habeo,
fateor, et cornua comparia,
sed pusillum sane cor est meum.”
Fabula indicat:
Ignis parvulus camino magno non sufficit.

Fabula Facilis: Leo et Tauri Duo

Vocabula

Leo impetum facit
in duos tauros,
epulas lautas sibi quaerens.
Tauri, coniunctis viribus,
cornua leoni opponunt;
leo ergo irruere non potest
in medios tauros.
Leo tunc sibi dicit,
"Viribus impar sum
tauris illis duobus.
Callide agere debeo!"
Sic altero dicit, et sic altero,
"Si amicum tuum mihi tradis,
ego te dimittam, incolumem."
Hac fraude usus,
leo utrumque necat,
negotio facili.

Canis leoni occurrit
et iocose dicit,
"O leo miser, inedia exhaustus,
quid percurris silvas et devia?
Me specta, pinguem ac nitidum,

"Habes tu quidem tuas epulas,
sed vincula etiam stolide habes.
Tu servus esto, qui servire potes;
equidem liber ego sum,
nec servire volo."
