Greetings! You all have the "white book" of Latin fables ("Fabellae Latinae"). By clicking here, you can get a version of those fabellae without any of the grammatical endings.

Download these and try filling in the endings. You can check your work by looking at the white book you already have. If you can work through these successfully, you will be well prepared for the "fill in the ending" portion of any future examinations.

Hans Orberg

Hans Orberg, author of the text we use here at WCC, passed away last week on February 17th. His was a peaceful death at a ripe old age, but we should still pray for him. Someone who met him once had this to say:

Marcus and Quintus accompanied Hans on his US trip earlier this century. They are Stefan and Anders. Hans's daughter, Trina, served as model for Julia. The unborn child in the later capitula of Familia Romana turned out to be twins, Jens and Jeppers.

Hans did assure me that not EVERYTHING in the characters of the textbook reflects the real children. But Stefan's eyes twinkled each time the mischief of Marcus was mentioned.
