　　Stuffing his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell

In the Spring and Autumn period, a thief had stolen a bell and intended to carry it away on his back, but the bell was too bulky and heavy to be carried, so he tried to break it into pieces with a hammer to make it easier for carrying. On his first hit, however, the bell made a loud noise. He thus feared that the ringing sound might be heard by someone, who would come to rob him of his bell. His fright made him plug his own ears, while hitting the bell with the hammer. The bell sound was, nevertheless, audible to others and therefore to stuff his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell was a stupid action it is as foolish as burying one's head in the sand.(《Huai Nanzi》)

在春秋戰國時期，有個小偷偷了一隻鍾。他準備把鍾扛在背上帶走。可是鍾又大又沉，很難扛走。因此他想用錘子把鐘敲成碎片，這樣運起來就能多了。可是，他敲了一下，那隻鍾發出巨大的響聲。他怕別人聽到了鐘聲會來搶他的`鍾，於是他在錘子敲鐘時捂上了自己的耳朵。不過，即使他這樣做，別人還是聽得到鐘聲的。所以掩耳盜鈴是非常愚蠢的行為，就像把頭埋在沙子中一樣。

(《淮南子 》)
