儿童英文故事：掩耳盗铃（文本）

掩耳盗铃 (Ostrich Logic)

Long, long ago, a man found a very big bell tied to a house door. He wanted to take it away but he couldn"t reach it. When the man tried to break it into pieces with a hammer, there was a loud clanging sound. He was afraid that someone would hear the noise, so he immediately covered his ears. But he was caught for others didn"t cover their ears. They could hear the noise.

Worrying about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but covering his own ears as if this would prevent others from hearing is absurd.
