Latin Via Fables: Simplified Fables: I'm now presenting the "Barlow Aesop" collection, fable by fable, in a SIMPLIFIED version (same story, but in simpler sentences) - with a SLIDESHOW presentation to go along with it, too. Today's Simplified fable is Fable 24: Vitula et Bos, the story of the heifer who was surprised by what happened when the holiday arrived (as for me, on Saturday I always feel like the ox let free from the yoke, ha ha).
