Carolus et Maria XXII

[1] Nunc post multōs diēs Carolus ūnum amīcum novum in Germāniā habet. Amīcus est servus quī tēctum medicī cūrat. Servus linguam Carolī intellegit nam ōlim in Americā habitāvit. Hodiē nōn labōrat, sed cum Carolō per silvam errat. Puerī duōs equos nigrōs habent. Eī celeriter ad silvam currunt. Carolus equum suum incitat quod īre celeriter cupit. Via est lāta et facilis et mox puerī in silvā sunt. Nūllae bēstiae perīculōsae hīc errant nam silva nōn est locus perīculōsus. Bēstiae ferae, sed parvae per tōtam silvam errant. Servus nōmina omnium bēstiārum scit. Grātum est Carolō cum amīcō novō per silvam errāre. Ubi rūrī est, laetus est.
