　A donkey wore a lion skin.

　Everybody thought he is a real lion. So both people and animals got scared and kept away from him.

　But when a gust of wind blew up, it stripped the lion skin and

　bared his disguise.

　Then all the people and animals came and clubbed him to death



　For people whose name is not known, never try to act like a celebrity.

　People will laugh at you and you will have a hard time.

　You will not acquire a borrowed thing.

The end
