A mole, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother, “I am sure that 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.”
【注】mole n. 鼴鼠;frankincense n. 乳香
【Translation】
鼴鼠的眼睛一出生便是瞎的,可小鼴鼠卻對媽媽說,“媽媽,我能看得見。”
他媽媽想證明他的錯誤,便拿來一小塊香噴噴的食物,放在他面前,問道:“它是什么?”
小鼴鼠說,“小石頭。”
母親驚喊:“啊,不幸的孩子,你不但眼睛看不見,連嗅覺也沒有了。”
