An ass once found a lion's skin. He put it on, and walked towards the village.  

　　All fled when he came near,both men and animals.

　　The ass felt quite proud. He lifted his voice and brayed², but then everyone knew him.

　　His owner came up and gave him a sound whipping.

　　Shortly afterwards,a fox came up to him and said, "Ah, I knew it was you by your voice."





　　有头驴发现一张狮子皮，他披着狮子皮走进村庄。

　　所有的人和动物见到他走过来都逃走了。

　　驴感到很得意，他高声地嘶叫，却被人认了出来。他的主人跑过来打了他一顿。

　　不久，一只狐狸也跑过来，对他说：“哦，你一张嘴我就知道你是驴。”

　　寓意: 外表虽然可以暂时掩盖一个人的缺点，但它很容易被揭穿。
