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 cudgelling for the fright he had
caused. And shortly afterwards a Fox came up to him and said: "Ah, I knew you
by your voice."
