De Trabe et Bobus

I'm using some new crossword puzzle software (online, fast, easy) to create new puzzles to go with the new Aesop's fables I'm posting at LatinViaFables.com.

Today's fable at Latin Via Fables is De Trabe boum pigritiam increpante: The Beam denouncing the laziness of the oxen. You can visit the Latin Via Fables page for this fable to see the Latin text, English translation and some grammar help.
