นิทานภาษาอังกฤษ

An Ass once found a lion’s skin

Which the hunters had left out in the sun to dry

He put it on

and went towards his native village,

All fled at his approach, both men and animals,

And he was a proud Ass that day.

In delight he lifted up his voice and brayed,

but then everyone knew him,

and his owner come up and gave him a sound cudgeling for the fright he had caused.

And shortly afterwards a Fox came up to him and said:

Ah, I knew you by your voice.”
