In the desire to proveto him his mistake, his Mother placed before him a few grains offrankincense, and asked, "What is it?' The young Mole said, "It isa pebble." His Mother exclaimed: "My son, I am afraid that you arenot only blind, but that you have lost your sense of smell。 译 文 传说鼹鼠的眼睛是瞎的，可小鼹鼠却对妈妈说他能看得见。妈想试验他一下，便拿来一小块香喷喷的食物，放在他面前，并问他是什么。他说是一颗小石头。母亲说：“啊，不幸的孩子，你不但眼睛看不见，连鼻子也没用了。” 寓 意 那些爱吹牛说大话的人，常常夸海口能做大事，却在一些微不足道的事情上暴露了本质。
