披着狮子皮的驴子
The Ass in the Lion’s Skin
一头驴子，偶然间找到一张狮子皮，就披上它在森林里四处闲逛，看到那些被他吓得惊慌逃窜的无知的小动物们，驴子就哈哈大笑起来。最后，他遇到了一只狐狸，也想吓唬他一下，但是狐狸一下子就听出了驴子的声音，就对他说：“请相信，如果我不是听出了你的声音，我真会被你吓坏的！”
漂亮的外衣可以包装傻瓜，但蠢话总会露出马脚。
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 than he exclaimed，“I might possibly have been frightened myself，if I had not heard your bray.”
