Orbilius magister discipulōs laudat sī dīligenter student.
Interdum ā magistrō fābulae nārrantur. Hodiē Orbilius rogat, “Dēsīderātīsne
fābulam, puerī?” “Certē, certē, fābulam longam, fābulam longam dēsīderāmus,”
puerī clāmant. Tum fābula dē Helenā, fēminā pulchrā Graecā, ab Orbiliō
nārrātur.
Sentence building; find the Latin:

“In Graeciā Helena habitat. Fēmina pulchrā ā multīs virīs amātur.
Troiānus clārus ad Graeciam nāvigat. Fēmina pulchra ā Troiānō vidētur et
amātur. Tandem Troiānus fēminam Troiam dūcit. Graecī sunt īrātī; itaque bellum
parātur. Arma et frūmentum et armātī onerāriīs ad ōrās Troiānās mittuntur. In
ōrīs Troiānīs Graecī castra pōnunt. Troia mūrō altō et portīs frimīs mūnītur.
Posteā castra Graecōrum fossā et vallō altō mūniuntur. Graecī Troiānōs nōn
timent sed ā Troiānis timentur. Diū bellum geritur. Armātī gladiīs, hastīs
sagittīs pugnant. Et Graecī et Troiānī ā virīs clārīs dūcuntur sed deī
victōriam nōn dant.”
