دخل ثعلبٌ بيتَ ممثلٍ، وراح يفتّش بين مقتنياته، فوقعت عينه على قناعٍ، تقليدٍ بارعٍ لرأسٍ بشري. وضع يديه عليه وقال: «يا له من رأسٍ جميل! لكنه عديم القيمة، إذ لا عقل فيه البتّة.

“A Fox entered the house of an actor and, rummaging through all his properties, came upon a Mask, an admirable imitation of a human head. He placed his paws on it and said, "What a beautiful head! Yet it is of no value, as it entirely lacks brains."”Aesop — Aesop's Fables (Illustrated & Annotated Edition) (2013)
