Suō patrī Thēseus dīxit, “Hunc malum mōrem tolerāre nōn possum! 5 Ego ipse6 Mīnōtaurum nōn timeō. Istum inveniam7 et, sī poterō, meīs vīribus8 vincam. Dīs meam fortūnam committō. Alba vēla vidēbis, ō mī pater, sī mortem fugiam.” Itaque Thēseus sē9 cum aliīs victimīs iūnxit et trāns mare ad Crētam nāvigāvit. Ibi suō labōre Mīnōtaurum superāre et arte Ariadnae10, suae amīcae, fugere poterat. 10

ANDROCLES AND THE LION

Androclus erat servus quī cum dominō inīquō ad urbem in Āfricā pervēnit. Ob plūrimās iniūriās dominī ad fugam in ultimōs montēs coāctus est. In summō monte in maximā spēluncā1 habitābat.

Ōlim Androclus ubi cibum petēbat leōnem vīdit. Maximus erat eius timor et in interiōrem partem spēluncae fugit. Sed leō nōn ferus 5 erat, et vēnit in spēluncam maximā cum difficultāte, nam in pede erat spīna2, quae eī magnum dolōrem faciēbat. Tum Androclī misericordia3 erat maior timōre; leō signīs auxilium petēbat. Androclus spīnam vulnere expressit. Leō gratissimus erat atque hī duo, vir animalque, in spēluncā trēs annōs habitāvērunt et erant optimī amīcī. 10 1 – speluncā: from spelunca, -ae, f., “cave” 2 – spīna: “thorn” 3 – misericordia: “pity, compassion”
