[quote=ZOEY,258609]No.1 狐假虎威 (Hu 2 Jia 3 Hu 3 Wei 1) It means 'the fox borrow the tiger's fierceness----bulley people by flaunting ones' powerful connections.'

History: One day, a tiger was very hungry and went hunting here and there. Luckily, he came across a fox. The tiger caught the fox and was preparing to eat it. While the fox said:" How dare you eat me? I am sent by the God to be the king of the beasts. If you eat me, God will punish you.'

The tiger dubitated and did not know if he should eat the fox. Then the fox said:" Don't you believe what I said? Just come with me and see whether the beasts are afraid of me."

The tiger agreed and walked behind the fox in the forest. All animals that saw the fox and tiger were trying to hide while seeing them. The tiger was quite surprised at this and thought that those animals were really afraid of the fox. Thus, he did not eat the fox.

Actually, those animals were really afraid of the tiger. However, the tiger did not realize this and was fooled by the fox.[/quote]
