The story in Stage 10 of the Cambridge Latin Course (Book 1)
- Stage 10 introduces the comparative and superlative adjectives, and this story plays on the idea of perception vs. reality.
- The joke in the story is that Syphax has actually made the statue correctly, but Caecilius is seeing it from the wrong angle (or the lighting in the atrium is poor). Later in the stage, the story continues to reveal that the statue is fine—Caecilius simply needs to view it from the front.
