Bigger does not equal smarter; brain over brawn
Plot/Rough Story
Fly buzzes around the swamp. Fly sees frog and lands on its back, in order to not get eaten.
Frog says: Why have you landed on my back? (for what reason)
Fly: I do not wish to be eaten by the likes of you
Frog: Jumps up and down while saying “How dare you insult me, I am bigger then you.” While frog tries to shack fly off his back, fly sees alligator, flies away, frog gets eaten
English
Narrator: In order to find food (purpose clause), the fly was flying around the swamp. The fly caught sight of a frog. The fly was so scared of the frog, that in order not to be eaten (fear clause); it landed on the back of the frog.
Frog: I know why you have landed on my back. (ind qu)
Fly: I have landed on your back in order not to be eaten by the likes of you.
Frog: How dare you insult me? I am both bigger and stronger than you.
Narrator: The frog, in order to expel the fly, began to jump up and down and make noise. The fly, while watching the alligator approaching, silently flew off the back of the frog. The frog, while still making noise (dum clause), was eaten by the alligator. While the frog was being eaten (abl abs), the fly was safe. The fly knows that the frog is dead.
Latin
