LuPUS ET AGNUS Olim sitis lupum et agnum ad parvum rivum venire compellit.

Olim lupus et agnus ad


parvum rivum venire siti compelluntur. Supra lupus stabat, infra et longius ab agnus. A Iupo. latrone,
causa iurgii statim invenitur: — Tu mihi. dum bibo, aquam turbulentam facis. Tum agnus timide: — Non
est tibi opus iurgio. domine, nam aqua abs te decurrit ad me. Latro ei iratus statim sibi alteram iurgii
causam invenit: — Ante sex menses mihi maledixisti. ) — Carissima mater, domine, necdum me
genuerat; numquam tibi maledixi. Prae timore vestri vox lupi a me numquam exprimitur. Nos agni timidi
vos Iupos timemus. Sed lupus: — At patrem certe habes. is nobis maledixit. Deinde agnus a lupo
corripitur et necatur.
