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."

　　披着狮皮的驴

　　一头驴发现了一张狮子的皮，于是就披到身上。他走出去吓唬其它动物，所有见到他的人和动物都把他当成狮子，吓得四处逃跑。驴见自己的诡计得逞了。兴奋地大叫起来。狐狸听到他的声音，立刻认出这是一头驴，于是就对他说：“哦，朋友，这才是真正的你，是吗?要不是听到了你的声音，我也被你吓着了。”突然一阵风刮来，把驴身上披着的狮子皮吹走了，驴子原形毕露。这时，动物们见此情形，又都跑回来，用木板和棍棒狠狠地打他。
