[Illustration: THE ASS IN THE LION'S SKIN.]
An Ass finding the skin of a Lion, put it on; and, going into the woods
and pastures, threw all the flocks and herds into a terrible
consternation. At last, meeting his owner, he would have frightened him
also; but the good man, seeing his long ears slick out, presently knew
him, and with a good cudgel made him sensible that, notwithstanding his
being dressed in a Lion's Skin, he was really no more than an Ass.
