An Ass once
found a Lion's skin which the hunters had left outin 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."
Fine clothes may
disguise, but
silly words will
disclose a fool.
