Ego sum magistra. Tū es discipulus. Ego in Americā habitō. Habitāsne tū in Americā? Haec est pictūra scholae meae. In pictūrā est puer, discipulus bonus. Pater huius puerī est nauta. Incola Americae est. Vir bonus et magnus est. Nauta epistulās scrībit et puer saepe mihi epistulās ostendit. Interdum nauta est in scholā. Discipulīs fābulās dē multīs terrīs nārrat et pictūrās ostendit. Nauta multās terrās videt et virōs et fēminās videt. Discipulī pictūrās nautae spectant et fābulās laudant. Interdum ego epistulās nautae legō. Discipulī nautae grātiās agunt quod pictūrās ostendit et fābulās nārrat et epistulās bene scrībit.
