An ass put on a lion’s skin and went about terrifying the other animals. Seeing a fox, he tried to frighten her too. But she had already heard his voice and said to him, “You may be sure that I too would have been afraid of you, had I not heard you bray.” So it is with some uneducated people: their outward show makes them seem important, but their own idle chatter exposes them.

Ὄνος, ἐνδυσάμενος λέοντος δέρμα, περιῄει ἐκφοβῶν τὰ ἄλογα ζῶα. Καὶ δὴ θεασάμενος ἀλώπεκα ἐπειρᾶτο καὶ ταύτην δεδίττεσθαι. Ἡ δὲ, ἐτύγχανε γὰρ αὐτοῦ φθεγξαμένου προακηκουῖα, ἔφη πρὸς αὐτόν· ,,ἀλλʼ εὖ ἴσθι, ὡς καὶ ἐγὼ ἄν σε ἐφοβήθην, εἰ μὴ ὀγκωμένου ἤκουσα.“

Οὕτως ἔνιοι τῶν ἀπαιδεύτων, τοῖς ἔξωθεν τύφοις δοκοῦντές τινες εἶναι, ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας γλωσσαλγίας ἐλέγχονται.
