Plugging One's Ears While Stealing a Bell

Once a thief found the bell on his neighbor’s door so beautiful that hewanted to steal it. And淤as soon as he touched the bell， it made a very loudnoise.

Then he said to himself， “I must do something about noise于.”He thoughthard and at last he had an idea. “Ah， I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then thenoise can’t be heard any more.”Then he did so and pulled the bell hard. Thebell rang loudly but the thief did not hear something盂. With another hard pull hegot the bell off. Just then the neighbors came out and caught him.

The thief thought as long as he himself couldn’t hear the noise， neithercould others. What榆foolish the thief was！
