成语故事:狐假虎威。在茂密的森林里，老虎是最凶猛的野兽，号称森林之王。它每天都要捕食其它动物，动物们都非常怕它。狡猾的狐狸看见自己无法逃脱，就耍了一个花招。它一本正经地大声对老虎说：你怎么敢吃我？我是天帝任命来管理所有的野兽的，你要吃了我，就是违抗天帝的命令。狐狸马上接着说：你要是不信，就跟在我后面走一趟，看看是不是所有的野兽见了我都赶快逃命。老虎听狐狸说话的口气很大，态度也很强硬，有几分相信了，决定跟着狐狸去看看。森林里大大小小的野兽们，看见狐狸大摇大摆，耀武扬威地走过来，后面跟着一只张牙舞爪的大老虎，都吓得要命，四处奔逃。老虎看着动物们都逃跑了，不知道野兽们怕得是自己，以为真是被狐狸的威风吓跑的，彻底相信了狐狸的话。它怕狐狸怪罪自己，做出什么对自己不利的举动，于是也慌忙逃走了。知识链接：狐假虎威就是由这个故事而来，现在，人们用它来比喻倚仗别人的势力欺压别人。
