The Ass in the Lion's Skin.


An ass, by some means unknown to the writer, having managed to get into a
lion's skin, ran around the neighborhood frightening the beasts into fits.
When he brayed, they said: "Jupiter! what a magnificent bass voice he has!"
and he was the pantata of that district until he died of old age.


IMMORAL:
