胀肚的狐狸饥饿的狐狸在一棵中空的树干中发现了一些牧羊人存留的面包和肉。高兴之余他立即通过那狭窄的缝隙挤进去，贪婪的大吃起来。但是当他吃饱之后，却发现自己的肚子胀鼓鼓的，即便费了九牛二虎之力，却怎么也钻不出那个洞来，便在树洞里唉声叹气。另一只狐狸恰巧经过那里，听到他的呻吟，便过去问他原因。听明白缘由后，那只狐狸便说道：“我的朋友，你就老老实实待在里边吧，等到恢复了钻进去之前的身材，你就能轻松地出来了。”

很久以前一座大山隆隆作响，摇晃起来。远近各处的人都来看是怎样回事。一个人说：要出现一条大河了。另一个人说：准会出现一条巨龙。第三个人说：从这些岩石中会出现一尊神来。等了几天之后，山坡上最终裂开一条小缝，却蹦出来一只耗子。正因为某人大肆张扬，所以他没有什么了不起。
