The Donkey in a Tiger skin

Once, there was a miserly washerman who did not feed his donkey well. One day, he dressed the donkey in a tiger’s skin to trick a farmer. The farmer got frightened and let the tiger eat his crops. But eventually, the farmer found out it was just a donkey in disguise and got angry. The angry farmer beat the donkey mercilessly. The moral of the story is that the truth cannot be hidden for a long, and honesty is always better.
