I'm not familiar with a Watkins fable, though it's possible.  Perhaps you're
thinking of Schleicher's fable (in his very Sanskrit-like PIE), which was
re-worked by Hirt (his version is filled with reduced vowels, but otherwise
looks very Neogrammarian), and most recently to my knowledge by Lehmann and
Zgusta (with Lehmann's versions of the laryngeals and of PIE syntax).
