Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOnce a merchant used to go about hawking goods, his pack carried by a donkey. After the days work he would throw a lions skin over the donkey and let him loose in the fields. The farmers, taking him for a lion, dared not stop him eating their crops. But one day they summoned up courage and armed themselves, and approached the animal with great uproar. The donkey, frightened to death, heehawed. The farmers cudgelled him to death.
The story was told in reference to Kokalika, who is identified with the donkey (J.ii.109f).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
