Aesop's Fable Updated
An Ass found a Lion’s skin left in the forest by a hunter. He dressed himself in it, and roamed about in the forest amusing himself by frightening all the foolish animals he met in his wanderings. All took to their heels the moment they saw him.
The Ass was so pleased to see the animals running away from him, just as if he were King Lion himself, that he could not keep from expressing his delight by a loud, harsh bray.
A Fox, who ran with the rest, stopped short as soon as he heard the voice. Approaching the Ass, he turned to the other animals and proclaimed: "Behold! Here is Lion, King of the Beasts, here to Make America Great Again!"
The Muskrat twittered Xcitedly, "All hail King Lion!" And he leaped and jumped for joy.
The Zuckerbird agreed. "Whatever you say!"
Then the canary chirped, "But he's an ass!"
The Wapopotamus and the Raccoon-cheong turned sharply to her. "Be quiet!" they grunted and hissed. "Are you trying to get us in trouble?"
And the forest bowed and prayed to the Lion King that brayed.
