Fabula

 

Gallus et Gemma

Ecce Gallus!

Gallus famélicus est.

Ecce stercus!

Gallus in stércore escam quaerit.

Quid Gallus cómedit?

Gallus trítici grana cómedit.

Gallus hórdei grana cómedit.

Gallus etiam vermes cómedit.

Ex improvíso,

dum escam quaerit,

Gallus gemmam in stércore ínvenit.

Gemma res rara est!

Gemma res pulchra est!

Gemma res pretiósa est!

Sed Gallo gemma non placet.

Gallus frustrátus est...

... et dicit:

"Gemma mihi non placet!"

"Gemma mihi non prodest!"

"Escam quaero,

non gemmas!"

"Gemmas comédere non possum."

"O gemma, mísera es...

... quod in stércore iaces."

"Ego quoque miser sum...

... quod escam non hábeo."

"Unum granum escae mélius mihi est...

... quam omnes gemmae pretiosae."

"Ergo: hanc gemmam pretiósam frustra invéni."

Fábula docet:

Cuique suum.
