THE ASS IN THE LION’S SKIN
Reading edition
An ass, having put on the lion’s skin, roamed about in the forest, and amused himself by frightening all the foolish animals he met with in his wanderings. At last, meeting a fox, he tried to frighten him also, but the fox no sooner heard the sound of his voice than he exclaimed: “I might possibly have been frightened myself, if I had not heard you bray.”
Deceitfulness has too many ill-concealed marks to escape discovery by someone, sometime.
