By: Courtney Herstek 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.
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 everyone 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.”
Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool.
