　A donkey in the lion's skin was walking around and threatening other animals.

　After a while, a fox appeared.

”Well, I'm going to threaten him.”

　the donkey thought.

　However, when the fox heard the donkey's voice, he spotted that the donkey was in the lion's skin.

　The fox said, ”Bad luck!

　If I had never heard your voice, I would have been threatened by your look.”



　Even people who do not know anything might look noble if they dress nicely and act proudly,

　but once they start to talk, their true identities will tend to come out.
