The mole is a blind creature. One day he said to his mother, “Mother, I can see a mulberry tree.” Then he said, “The scent of frankincense fills my nostrils.” And a third time he spoke: “I can hear the clink of a bronze counter.” His mother replied, “My child, I see now that you lack not only sight, but hearing and a sense of smell as well.”

The fable shows that some boasters promise the impossible, only to be exposed in the smallest matters.
