空瓶子。狐狸和猴子好几天没吃东西了，在路上它们发现了一个洞穴，里面有个神像和两个瓶子。狐狸祈求神像：我们几天没吃东西了，这样下去会饿死的神像说：这儿有两个瓶子，一个装满食物，一个是空的，你只能用观察来选择一个。狐狸说：两个瓶子中有一个装满食物，另外一个是空的，我看这两个瓶子肯定都是空的。听了这话，一个瓶子开口了：我才不是空的狐狸一听，伸手抱走另一个瓶子。打开瓶口，果然里面都是食物。猴子大惑不解地问：你怎么知道这个瓶子里有食物。狐狸笑着说：肚子空空的人，最怕人家说他空瓶子，肚子有墨水的人，你说什么他都不在乎。大道理：自吹自擂的人往往脑袋空空，脑袋空空又自吹自擂的人是会被人嘲笑的。自以为是又总生活在别人的唾弃与嘲笑之中，何苦呢？
