Cerberus Canis Monstruosus: A Latin Novella (Latin Edition)

Cerberus wants to be a dog. He wants to catch balls and for people to pet and love him just like they love dogs. He has one big problem though… well, four big problems. Unlike a normal dog, he has three heads and the tail of a snake. People think he’s a monster! People don’t want to throw balls to a monster or pet a monster or love a monster. People fear monsters. People want to kill monsters. Still, Cerberus is determined to find a home where he can be accepted for who he is. Surely, he can find someone who wants to throw a ball to him! Surely, someone will see Cerberus as Cerberus, not as a monster… right? Cerberus Canis Monstruosus is written for students in their second year of Latin. It contains 159 total words.
