Det - cupiat - quaerat, plurima - pauca - nihil.

AESOP'S FABLES:
I'll be including one more fable in each blog post for a while, connected to my 100-word story project. Aesop is part of that project, along with other 100-word stories; you can find out more here: Drabbles: 100-Word Stories. The English is not a translation of the Latin; instead, it's a 100-word story is English on the same subject as the Latin fable.
