Plīnius, cuius facta bona vōbīs fortasse nōn ante nōta fuērunt, multās litterās scrīpsit quās etiam nunc legere possumus. Audīte factum pulchrum Plīnī. Quondam ad oppidum parvum in quō nātus erat vēnit. Ibi inter multōs hominēs stābat et dē salūte familiārum rogābat. Tum amīcum nōtum cum fīliō cernit. Plīnius puerum rogāvit: “Discipulus es?” Puer respondit: “Discipulus Mediōlānī sum.” Plīnius, commōtus quod puer patriam relīquerat, rogāvit: “Cūr hīc es? Cūr patriam relīquistī?” (Now, read the rest of this translation.) Puer respondit: “Nōn possum hīc manēre, nam magistrōs nōn habēmus.” Tum Plīnius verba fēcit: “Verbīs puerī commōtus sum. Certē lūdum hīc habēre potestis atque dēbētis. Cognōscite cōnsilium meum. Ego nōn līberōs habeō sed tertiam partem pecūniae quam dabitis parātus sum dare. Vōsne parātī estis reliquam partem dare, sī ego tertiam partem dabō?”

Plīnius = m., Pliny nātus = born Mediōlānī = at Milan cūr = why hīc = here sī = if

Pliny, whose good deeds perhaps have been not known to you before, wrote many letters which we are able to read even now. Hear the beautiful deed of Pliny. Once he came to a small town in which he had been born. There he was standing among many men and he was asking about the welfare of families. Then he sees a familiar friend with his son. Pliny asked the boy: “Are you a student?” The boy responded: “I am a student at Milan.” Pliny, disturbed because the boy had left behind his country, asked: “Why are you here? Why did you leave your country?”

The boy responded: “I am not able to stay here, for we have no teachers.” Then Pliny spoke: “I have been alarmed by the boy’s words. Surely you are able to have a school here and you ought to have (one). Learn my plan. I have no children but I am prepared to give a third part of the money which you will give. Are you prepared to give the remaining part if I will give a third part?”

Answer these questions that are based on the passage.
