道听途说
春秋时代，齐国有个人叫毛空，他爱听那些没有根据的传说，然后再把自己听到的津津有味地讲给别人。有一次，毛空听到一只鸭和一块肉的事，他觉得非常稀奇，便告诉给艾子。他说：“有一个人，养了一只特别能生蛋的鸭，那鸭一天能生一百多个蛋。”他见艾子笑了，又说：“那天，从天上掉下一块肉，那块肉长有三十丈，宽有十丈。”艾子笑着问道：“真的吗？有那样长的肉吗？”毛空急忙说：“噢，那就是长二十丈。”艾子仍不相信。他又改口：“一定是十丈长了。”艾子说：“你说的那只鸭是谁家养的？你说的那块肉掉在了什么地方？”毛空支支吾吾说不出来，最后只好说：“我是在路上听别人说的。”
成语“道听途说”就是从这个故事而来的。这一成语比喻在路上听到没有根据的言论或传闻，再去传给别人。
