[3] Translate:

Latrōnēs quoque tēla habent. Sī latrōnēs sē capī putant, cīvēs interdum interficiunt. Nocte ubi cīvēs somnō sē dant, latrōnēs per viās celeriter ambulant. Tēcta non semper mūnīta sunt. Fenestrae sunt apertae. Quod cīvēs sonitum pedum latrōnum nōn semper audiunt, nēmō latrōnēs, quī multās rēs ē tēctīs portant, videt. Latrōnēs igitur discēdunt. Māne posterō diē avunculus et comitēs eius vocantur et diū per viās errant. Sī latrōnēs capiuntur, hī virī malī diū in vinculīs tenentur aut interficiuntur.

Note: Sī latrōnēs sē capī putant,…

Literally: If the robbers think themselves to be captured …

> If the robbers think that they are captured …

Nunc Maria quae in grāmine sub umbrā arboris et ante pedēs avunculī iacet fābulās tantōrum perīculōrum audit. “Nōn tanta perīcula sunt, ut putō, in nostrīs urbibus,” inquit puella. Avunculus “Maiōra perīcula,” respondet, “in urbibus vestrīs quam trāns mare reperiuntur. In urbe meā paucī cīvēs ā latrōnibus interficiuntur.”

[C] Her uncle thinks there are greater dangers in the cities of Maria’s country.

[D] Her uncle thinks there are greater dangers overseas.

[E] Many citizens are killed in her uncle’s city.

[F] A few citizens are killed in her uncle’s city.

[G] The citizens kill robbers.

[H] The robbers kill citizens.

____________________

[3] The robbers also have weapons. If the robbers think that they are captured, they sometimes kill the citizens. At night when the citizens go to sleep (literally: give themselves to sleep), the robbers walk quickly through the streets. The houses are not always fortified. The windows are open. Because the citizens do not always hear the sound of the robbers' feet, nobody sees the robbers who are carrying many things out of the houses. Therefore, the robbers depart. In the morning on the following day the uncle and his companions are called, and wander through the streets for a long time. If the robbers are captured, these evil men are held in chains or killed.
