The Ass in the Lion's Skin.

Reading edition

An ass, by some means unknown to the writer, having managed to get into a lion's skin, ran around the neighborhood frightening the beasts into fits. When he brayed, they said: "Jupiter! what a magnificent bass voice he has!" and he was the pantata of that district until he died of old age.

IMMORAL:

A good bluff, well chucked, is liable to do considerable execution.
