An Ass once found a Lion’s skin which the hunters had
left out in 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.’
Moral Lesson: Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a
fool.
