Sed post cenam duo, senex et coniunx, miraculum viderunt. Vinum et cibus etiam erant in crateribus! Baucis pia et Philemon timidus timent et deos orant. Duobus senibus anser erat; Baucis et Philemon anserem prehendere et necare temptabant, sacrificium deis. Anser autem fugitavit ad deos qui dixerunt: "Nolite anserem necare. Sumus di, Iuppiter et Mercurius. Malum oppidum vastare debemus. Sed vobis praemium dabimus."

Translated by Robgj
Target language: English

But after the meal the two, the old man and his wife,saw a miracle. The wine and food were still on the plate. The pious B. and the timid P. were afraid and prayed to the gods. A goose appeared to the old pair; B. and P. tried to catch the goose and kill it.But the goose fled to the gods who said:" Do not kill the goose. We are the gods Jupiter and Mercury. We must destroy the evil town. But we will give you a reward.
Remarks about the translation
This text comes from the "Metamorpheses" of P. Ovidius Naso (Ovid). It is a very beautiful story!
