Apicula et Iuppiter is based on a fable in Latin. I have expanded the story to add more details, including dialogue, while also simplifying the syntax and sheltering the vocabulary. This story uses 75 words to retell the fable. Many of these words would be familiar to students, but some, like favus, mel, and apis, are likely not. If you are interested in comparing this fable to the original, you can read the original fable here.
