Aesop’s De Rustico et Silva

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 day. Look forward to the book sometime in July or August. In the meantime check out my other published works here:

Rusticus it ad silvam, et rogat, “Arborēs, dabitisne lignum mihi? Volō facere ansam securis.” Arborēs dant lignum, et rusticus portat ad domum. Rusticus facit ansam securis et redit ad arborēs. Tum rusticus detruncat omnēs arborēs.

Tempus monendi[1] est serius[2] in medium malorum.
