The assin the lion's skin

　　An Ass found a Lion's Skin, and dressed himself up in it. Then he went about frightening every one he met, for they all took him to be a lion, men and beasts alike, and took to their heels when they saw him coming. Elated by the success of his trick, he loudly brayed in triumph. The Fox heard him, and recognised www.xiaogushi8.com him at once for the Ass he was, and said to him, "Oho, my friend, it's you, is it? I, too, should have been afraid if I hadn't heard your voice."

　　披著獅皮的驢

　　一頭驢發現了一張獅子的皮，于是就披到身上。他走出去嚇唬其它動物，所有見到他的人和動物都把他當成獅子，嚇得四處逃跑。驢見自己的詭計得逞了。興奮地大叫起來。狐貍聽到他的聲音，立刻認出這是一頭驢，于是就對他說：“哦，朋友，這才是真正的你，是嗎?要不是聽到了你的聲音，我也被你嚇著了。”突然一陣風刮來，把驢身上披著的獅子皮吹走了，驢子原形畢露。這時，動物們見此情形，又都跑回來，用木板和棍棒狠狠地打他。
