視訊加載中...
從前，有一個貪心的年輕人，他住在一個小村莊裡。一天，他路過一座廟宇，看到一隻大銅鈴。那隻銅鈴特别漂亮，閃閃發光，風一吹就發出清脆悅耳的聲音，他很想要它。
Once upon a time, there was a greedy young man who lived in a small village. One day, he walked past a temple and saw a large bronze bell. The bell was especially beautiful, glistening in the sunlight, and produced a crisp, melodious sound when the wind blew. He really wanted it.
年輕人想：“我得偷走這隻鈴铛！”可是，那隻鈴铛輕輕一碰就會發出聲響，如果他把鈴铛取下來，所有人都會聽到。他怕被人發現，是以他得想個辦法。
The young man thought, "I must steal this bell!" But the bell would make a sound with just a gentle touch, and if he removed the bell, everyone would hear it. He was afraid of being discovered, so he had to think of a plan.
年輕人想啊想，最後想到一個主意。他把自己的耳朵用棉花塞緊，這樣他就聽不到鈴铛的聲音了。他以為如果他聽不到聲音，其他人也聽不到。
The young man thought and thought, and finally came up with an idea. He stuffed his ears with cotton, so he wouldn't be able to hear the bell's sound. He thought that if he couldn't hear it, neither could anyone else.
于是，年輕人走進廟裡，用錘子狠狠地敲了一下鈴铛。鈴铛發出了巨大的聲音，但年輕人卻聽不到。他開心地笑着，認為沒有人聽到。
So, the young man walked into the temple and hit the bell hard with a hammer. The bell produced a huge sound, but the young man couldn't hear it. He smiled happily, thinking that nobody heard it.
但是，村裡的其他人都聽到了那巨大的聲音。他們趕緊跑來，看到了年輕人正在偷鈴铛。他們抓住了年輕人，把他送去了官府。
However, everyone in the village heard the loud sound. They quickly ran over and saw the young man trying to steal the bell. They caught the young man and took him to the authorities.
