    This one is short and ridiculous. Diogenes was the original cynic (no really). He was famous, as seen in this story, for living in a large ceramic jar. He was also known for carrying around a lamp during the day and looking for one honest man. Truly a crank for the ages. As usual, I've taken out the DCC 1000 and added notes for readers new to reading unadapted Latin.

    Gesta Romanorum 71 de Diogene et Alexandro

    Refert Saturnus, quod Diogenes ita erat in paupertate, quod dolium habuit pro domo, cuius ostium ad solem semper dirigebatur. Ad quem in sole existente cum rex Alexander accessisset ad eum et dixit ei, quod peteret ab eo, quidquid ei placeret. At ille: Vellem prae ceteris, ut non stares inter me et solem! !t sic Alexander, qui omnes nationes "icit, ab isto paupere "ictus est.
