Fox Basked in Tiger"s Reflected Glory

A tiger caught a fox in a forest, and was just about to eat it, when the fox said, "You mustn"t eat me. I was sent by Heaven to rule the animals. By eating me, you will violate the command of Heaven. If you don"t believe me, just follow me to see whether the animals are of me." The tiger agreed, and followed the fox as it walked around the forest. The animals all ran away on seeing them. The tiger thought they were of the fox, so he let it go. He didn"t realise that it was him that the beasts were really of.
This idiom means relying on another"s power to bully or frighten others

一只老虎在森林里捉到了一只狐狸，正准备吃掉它的时候，狐狸说：“你怎么敢吃我！我是天帝派来的百兽之王。今天你要是吃了我，就是违抗天帝的命令呀！你要是不信，我在前面走，你在后面跟，看看百兽见了我，有敢不逃走的吗？”

老虎同意了，就跟着狐狸走去。果然，百兽见了他们，都争相逃命。老虎惊讶不已，认为狐狸是百兽之王，就走开了。
