PART TWO

“Ita,” respondit puer. “Diū ab Americā āfuī et omnium terrārum America est mihi grātissima et cārissima. Gēns bona et magna est, et per omnēs terrās fāma eius est magna. Cīvis Americānus sum et gentem meam amō.”

“Cīvis Americānus nōn sum,” inquit nauta. “Britannus sum sed patriam tuam amō. Ōlim Britannī erant hostēs Americae et inter hās duās gentēs erat bellum longum. Sed hoc memoriā tenēre nōn bonum est.”

“Hoc sciō,” respondit Carolus. “Multī et fortēs mīlitēs multīs in proeliīs pugnābant et Britannī et Americānī. Pater mihi fābulās dē duce Americānō maximō nārrāvit. Hieme ubi mīlitēs perterritī erant et dēfessī quoque et hostēs multās rēs rapiēbant, hic dux mīlitēs parvīs nāvigiīs trāns flūmen portāvit. Illīs temporibus ducēs nōn erant ignāvī. Sīc semper magnās rēs faciēbant et sīc nōtī omnibus erant.”

Nunc nāvis magna in portū stābat. Prīmum eī quī in summā nāvī stābant amīcōs quī in terrā exspectābant salūtāvērunt. Signum dabātur. Deinde dē nāvī ad terram iērunt. Ubi per portās ambulāverant, tandem cum amīcīs omnēs laetē stābant.
