24 the mole and his mother 鼴鼠和它的媽媽
a young mole once boasted to his mother that he could see. now the mother knew very well that all moles are blind: they live in dark underground burrows and do not need to see where they are going. she decided to find out whether the young mole was lying and she prepared a test. she laid a lump of sweet-smelling soap in front of him.
一次，小鼴鼠向媽媽吹噓說它能看見東西。媽媽心里很明白，鼴鼠都是看不見的：它們生活在黑暗的地洞里，不需要看見要去往哪里。它決定弄清楚小鼴鼠是否在撒謊，于是準備試一試。它把一塊香皂放在小鼴鼠面前。
“now, what do you see？”she asked.
“看見什么了？”媽媽問。
the young mole touched the hard soap gently with his nose.
小鼴鼠用鼻子輕輕地碰了碰堅硬的香皂。
