24 the mole and his mother 鼹鼠和它的妈妈
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，小鼹鼠向妈妈吹嘘说它能看见东西。妈妈心里很明白，鼹鼠都是看不见的：它们生活在黑暗的地洞里，不需要看见要去往哪里。它决定弄清楚小鼹鼠是否在撒谎，于是准备试一试。它把一块香皂放在小鼹鼠面前。
“now, what do you see？”she asked.
“看见什么了？”妈妈问。
the young mole touched the hard soap gently with his nose.
小鼹鼠用鼻子轻轻地碰了碰坚硬的香皂。
