Answer 1

The Mole and His Mother
　　A MOLE, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother: "I am sure than I can see, Mother!" In the desire to prove to him his mistake, his Mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked, "What is it?' The young Mole said, "It is a pebble." His Mother exclaimed: "My son, I am afraid that you are not only blind, but that you have lost your sense of smell.
　　参考译文：小鼹鼠和妈妈
　　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.” 这故事是说,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.
