The Mole and his Mother

posted in Miscellaneous |

A Mole, an animal blind from birth, once said to his Mother: “I am sure I can see, Mother!”

In her desire to prove to him his mistake, his Mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked him, “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 you have lost your sense of smell. as well!”

Moral: If you are going to show off, at least get your facts straight.
