狐假虎威The Fox Assumes the Tiger's Might

The Fox Assumes the Tiger's Might（成语 狐假虎威 英文）


A tiger caught a fox while looking for any beast that might come his way and fall a prey to him.

"Don't you dare eat me!" said the fox."The Emperor of Heaven has made me king of the beasts. You eat me and you will be going against His orders. If you don't believe what I say, just let me lead the way and you follow close behind. Then we'll see if they all flee or not at the sight of me."

The tiger agreed to the idea, and so the two of them set off together. When the other beasts saw them coming, they all turned tail. Not realizing it was he that was the cause of their panics-stricken flight,the tiger thought they were afraid of the fox.
