The following is a nice easy short story for the Latin novice:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Lucius ad forum it

Sol fulget. Lucius oculos aperit. Videt uxorem suam, Octaviam. Octavia
dormit. Ergo, Lucius ad forum it.

Lucius multos amicos habet. Unus ex amicis Claudius est. Claudius semper
in foro est. Claudius temptat dicere cum feminis, quod Claudius multas
feminas amat. Multae feminae, tamen, Claudium non amant.

Lucius ad forum ambulat. Multos Romanos videt. Unus Romanorum ad cives
orationem facit. Est Claudius!

\"Ecce! Ecce!\" dicit Lucius. Lucius vult dicere cum amico. Claudius,
tamen, dicit ad turbam.

\"Amicus meus, Lucius\" dicit, \"hominem necavit.\"^A^

Lucius anxius respondet, \"Quid dicis, amice?\"

Claudius est attonitus. Dicit, \"Te non video, mi Luci\...\"

Lucius respondet, \"hominem non necavi! Cur tanta dicis?\" Claudius
susurrat, \"Volo videri^B^ fortissimus, amice. Feminae te amant. Me
dolent^C^.\"

Lucius omnia^D^ turbae^E^ patefacit.

Multae feminae ad Claudium misserimum rident. Mox, etiam Claudius ad se
ridet.
