A Lion was about to attack a braying1 Ass2, when a Cock near by crowed shrilly3, and the Lion ran away. “What frightened him?” the Ass asked.
“Lions have a superstitious4 terror of my voice,” answered the Cock, proudly.
“Well, well, well,” said the Ass, shaking his head; “I should think that any animal that is afraid of your voice and doesn’t mind mine must have an uncommon5 kind of ear.”
