The Fox and the Mask

A Fox had by some means got into the store-room of a theatre.Suddenly he observed a face glaring down on him and began to bevery frightened; but looking more closely he found it was only aMask such as actors use to put over their face.  "Ah," said theFox, "you look very fine; it is a pity you have not got anybrains." Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
