Aesop’s De Piscatore et Pisciculo

I’ve started a Latin resource for Aesop’s Fables and hope to publish it in the summer. In the meantime, I’ll be posting the Latin text of the fables with their vocabulary every couple of days. Look forward to the book sometime in July or August. In the meantime check out my other published works here:

Piscator pisciculum capit, et pisciculus piscatorem cum precibus importunīs vexat. Pisciculus dicit, “Debes me dimittere donec grandescō. Tum faucem hospitum explebō.” Piscator autem dicit, “Credisne me esse insulsum? Sī promissīs futilibus et lubricīs credo et sī commodum certum prō spē incertā commutō, sum insulsus.
