fābula mīrābilis

multī amīcī cum Caeciliō cēnābant. Fēlīx quoque aderat. omnēs
amīcī coquum laudāvērunt, quod cēna erat optima.
    postquam omnēs cēnāvērunt, Caecilius clāmāvit, 'ubi est
Decēns? Decēns nōn adest.' tum Caecilius Clēmentem ē vīllā
5  mīsit. servus Decentem per urbem quaesīvit.
    postquam servus ē vīllā discessit, Fēlīx pōculum hausit. tum
lībertus fābulam mīrābilem nārrāvit:
    'ōlim amīcus meus ex urbe discēdēbat. nox erat, sed lūna
plēna lūcēbat. amīcus per viam festīnābat, ubi silva erat, et
10  subitō centuriōnem cōnspexit. amīcus meus centuriōnem
salūtāvit. centuriō tamen nihil dīxit. tum centuriō tunicam
dēposuit. ecce! centuriō ēvānuit. ingēns lupus subitō appāruit.
amīcus meus valdē timēbat. ingēns lupus ululāvit et ad silvam
festīnāvit. tunica in viā iacēbat. amīcus tunicam cautē īnspexit.
15  ecce! tunica erat lapidea. tum amīcus rem intellēxit. centuriō
erat versipellis.'
