Aesop's Fables An Ass put on the Lion's skin. He then roamed about. He went in the forest. He amused himself. He frightened all the animals. The animals were foolish. The Ass met them in his wanderings. At last he came upon a Fox. He tried to frighten him also. But the Fox heard the sound of his voice. The Fox then immediately exclaimed, "I might possibly have been frightened myself. But I heard your bray." |
