Ab Apiculīs irrītātus et leviter ictus, Ursus indignābundus in tōtum alveāre tōtis vīribus irruēbat. Ad quam violentam concussiōnem, Apēs omnēs, velut agmine factō, in faciem Ursī involābant. Quārum ācriter cruciātus aculeīs Ursus: “Quantō (inquit) satius mihi fuisset ūnīus Apiculae tulisse patienter aculeum, quam tam temere tōtum exāmen irrītāsse!”
