5 делать из мухи слона
разг., неодобр.cf. make a mountain out of a molehillОб обер-полицмейстере Кокошкине в Петербурге говорили тогда много ужасающего и нелепого, но, между прочим, утверждали, что он обладает удивительным многосторонним тактом и при содействии этого такта не только "умеет сделать из мухи слона, но так же легко умеет сделать из слона муху". (Н. Лесков, Человек на часах) — Many horrifying and absurd things were said about Chief of Police Kokoshkin in St. Petersburg at the time, but people also said that the tact he possessed was so amazingly versatile that it helped him to make a molehill out of a mountain as facilely as he made a mountain out of a molehill.
