A mountain giving birth to a mouse? Is that a translation from another language? I'm not being critical, it's just oddly specific and bizarre.

Yeah it is a french expression, the english equivalent is " a long harvest for a little corn "

Here is a link to read about it, its meaning and use and its equivalent in other languages : link
