A LION was about to attack a braying Ass, when a Cock near by crowed shrilly, and the Lion ran away.
- "What frightened him?" the Ass asked.
- "Lions have a superstitious 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 uncommon kind of ear."
