 Author: Aesop An Ass discovered a lion's skin that had been discarded in the jungle by a hunter. He dressed up in it and kept himself busy by hiding in a thicket and charging out at passing animals.  When they spotted him, they all fled to their heels. The Ass was overjoyed to see the animals fleeing him, as if he were King Lion himself, and couldn't help but bray loudly and harshly.  A Fox who was running with the others, heard the voice and came to a halt. As he approached the Ass, he laughed and remarked, "If you had kept your mouth shut, you might have scared me, too. But you gave it away with that stupid bray." Moral: A fool's attire and demeanor may deceive, but his words will soon reveal who he truly is.

 Author: Aesop A Miller was driving his Ass to market with his young son in the hopes of finding a buyer. On the route, they encountered a group of laughing and talking girls who shouted, "Did you ever see such a pair of fools?" To be walking down the dusty road when they could be riding!" The Miller saw logic in what they said, so he had his son mount the Ass while he strolled to the side. When they arrived, they were hailed by some of his old pals, who exclaimed, "You'll spoil that Son of yours, letting him ride while you toil along on foot!" Make him walk, you slacker!

They hadn't gone far when they came across a group of women and children, who exclaimed, "What a selfish old man!" He rides in comfort, but leaves his poor young kid to follow on his own legs!"

Story The donkey and tiger had a dispute over the color of the grass, with the donkey insisting it was blue and the tiger saying it was green. They took the matter to the lion, the King of the Jungle, for arbitration. The donkey pleaded his case, and the lion declared that the grass was indeed blue and punished the tiger with five years of silence. The donkey was pleased and continued to repeat his belief that the grass is blue. The tiger accepted his punishment but asked the lion why he was being punished when he knew the grass was green. The lion explained that the punishment was for wasting time arguing with a donkey and bothering him with such a trivial matter. The moral of the story is not to waste time arguing with those who are stubborn and closed-minded, as it is a futile effort. It is better to maintain one's peace and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
