Zheng Xinhua Sun Mingchen Huang Yuyuan Lu Mengqi Wang Haoxuan: Cover your ears and steal the bell

Cover your ears and ring the bell

Zheng Xinhua Sun Mingchen Huang Yuyuan Lu Mengqi Wang Haoxuan

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the two major families of the Zhao family and the Fan family of the Jin Dynasty fought, and as a result, the Zhao family defeated the Fan family. The people of the Fan family died and fled, leaving only a large empty courtyard.

The Fan family has a lot of good things, and they are targeted by thieves near and far. On this day, a thief took advantage of the night and the moonlight to quietly climb over the high courtyard wall and sneak into the Fan family.

The thief tiptoed, hunched over, and turned his two small eyes to look east and west, and found a large bell hanging from the wooden frame of the well. The bell is made of bronze, glittering in the moonlight, and it is engraved with a very elaborate pattern. (Guangrao Road Primary School Grade 3 Zheng Xinhua)

The thief looked at the big clock and was very happy: This is a big baby! Be sure to carry it home today. He stretched out his arms and tried to hold the bell down. The big clock is so heavy! He used all the strength to suckle, and his face turned red, but the big bell still didn't move. How can this be done? He circled around the clock and suddenly came up with a good idea: I can't hold the whole clock, I can break it, and move it home piece by piece! Take them back, make them into copper bowls, cups, and mirrors and sell them at the market, and won't I make a fortune? At this thought, the thief burst out laughing happily, quickly ran into the Fan family's house, found a large hammer and returned to the well. (Taizhan Road Primary School Grade 3 Sun Mingchen)

The thief looked at the big clock, as if he had seen a lot of money, and raised the hammer high and slammed it hard into the big clock. The big bell made a loud noise, knocking the thief down, and the hammer in his hand almost fell to the ground. The thief thought to himself: The night is so quiet, the brass bell makes such a loud noise, and when it is heard, it will definitely come to catch me. He hurriedly threw away his hammer and stretched out his arm to cover the bell. The big bell was still vibrating, shaking his arm numb, but the sound was not covered at all, and it was still "buzzing". The thief quickly withdrew his hand and covered his ears. Hey, he noticed that the bell suddenly became smaller. He pressed his ear so hard with his hand that he couldn't hear a sound at all. (Changyang Road Primary School Grade 3 Huang Yuyuan)

The thief seems to have discovered a secret: Yes, don't I cover my ears and not hear the bell ringing? But how do you smash the bell with a hammer when you cover your ears with your hands? The thief blinked his little eyes and thought about it, and when he stomped his feet, he had an idea: Can I find cotton to plug my ears, and don't I just free my hand to get the hammer? In this way, you can smash the bell and hear no sound. Haha, I'm so smart!

The thief quickly found two clumps of cotton and stuffed them into his ears, took the hammer and ran to the big clock, and knocked hard: sure enough, he couldn't hear any sound. At this moment, the thief was relieved, picked up the hammer and smashed it on the copper bell one by one, and while smashing it, he thought happily: I am going to get rich, I am going to become a rich man... The more I thought about it, the more beautiful I felt, the more I smashed the force, and the bell sounded one after another and spread farther and farther.

The crisp sound of the bells traveled so far in the night that it alarmed those nearby. Everyone ran out of the house and ran into the Fan family's compound, and found a person smirking while smashing the bell with a hammer in his hand. People shouted at him, and he didn't react at all. Everyone looked around and saw that he had cotton stuffed in his ears. Everyone arrested him and sent him to the government office.

The thief was beaten up and put in a cell. As he touched his swollen ass, he wondered: I obviously plugged my ears and couldn't hear the sound at all, they were all sleeping at home, how did they know I was stealing the clock?

This ridiculous thief thought he had plugged his ears and no one else could hear. (Taonan Road Primary School Grade 3 Wang Haoxuan)
