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 recognized 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."

一頭驢發現披上一張獅皮，到處走動，嚇唬別的動物。看見他走近，人與獸都以為他真是獅子，紛紛逃竄，所以那天他得意極了。趁著高興，他扯開嗓子大叫起來，不久，一隻狐狸靠近他說：“哎呀，我的朋友，是你嗎？如果我沒有聽到你的聲音，我也應該害怕。”
