The Ass in the Lion’s Skin
The
Ass in the Lion’s Skin
An Ass once found a Lion’s
skin which the hunters had left out in the sun to dry. He put it on and went
towards his native village. All fled at his approach, both men and animals, and
he was a proud Ass that day. In his delight, he lifted up his voice and brayed,
but then every one knew him, and his owner came up and gave him a sound
cudgeling for the fright he had caused. And shortly afterward a Fox came up to
him and said. “Ah, I knew you by your voice. Fine clothes may disguise, but
silly words will disclose a fool.”
