The Fox and the Mask
An Aesop's Fable
A Fox had by some methods got into the store-room of a theater. Abruptly he watched a face glaring down on him and started to be extremely unnerved; yet looking all the more carefully he discovered it was just a Mask, for example, performing artists use to put over their face. "Ok," said the Fox, "you look fine; it is a compassion you lack any brains."
