#176253 - A donkey?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Here in The Netherlands, when we want to blow things out of all proportion, we tend to make an elephant out of a mosquito ("van een mug een olifant maken") :-)

"Storm in een glas water" (storm in a glass of water) is the Dutch equivalent of tempest in a teapot.
