It is said that the mole’s eyes are blind. But he says to his mother that he can see. His mother wants to test him. The mother brings a little food to put in front of him and asks him what it is. He says it is a little stone. His mother says: “Ah, poor child, you not only can’t see anything but also your nose is useless.”

This is to say, those people who like boasting often claim that they can do great thing, but they expose themselves from some trifle.
这个故事是说，那些爱吹牛说大话的人，常常夸海口能做大事，却在一些微不足道的事情上暴露了本质。
