"The Ass in the Lion's Skin" by Aesop (translated into English)

    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 in his wanderings.  At last coming upon 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 your bray."

                                  Clothes may disguise a fool, but his words will give him away.
