The Mole and His Mother A young mole once boasted to his mother that he could see
But 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
“Now, what do you see
”she asked
The young mole touched the hard soap gently with his nose
“A stone, mother, ”he said
The mother laughed
“You are not only blind like the rest of us, ”she said, “but also you have no sense of smell either
If you had not boasted about being able to see, I would never have found out about that
