寓言故事|The Ass and the Lion's Skin

来源:www.tlffmw.com 2025-02-26
A MEMBER of the State Militia1 stood at a street corner, scowling2
stormily, and the people passing that way went a long way around
him, thinking of the horrors of war. But presently, in order to
terrify them still more, he strode toward them, when, his sword
entangling3 his legs, he fell upon the field of glory, and the
people passed over him singing their sweetest songs.
