The Ass in the Lion's Skin
    
    
      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."
