The story originates from the ancient text Lüshi Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Lü) and has been passed down for centuries to teach wisdom to young readers . The Story The tale follows Zhang San, a man from the state of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period, who is determined to steal a priceless bronze bell. To avoid being discovered, he first plugs his own ears, believing this will make the bell silent. Then, to make the bell easier to carry away, he strikes it with a heavy hammer, creating a loud, clanging noise. He is shocked when the bell's owner catches him red-handed, as he failed to realize that he was the only person who could not hear the noise .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/2d519a8e1689f483900272416f6fb9551c9dff5f697bee0fb6997b45cd72eb20.jpg?v=1793431121\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/cac56ede49831d3523b6dd2c3fec80611fc0d6c8a72c280fe57a792a130861df.jpg?v=1793431125\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/96b5ee97653707200e70511321facd4833a95cf132dd924b7e740befc2271b10.jpg?v=1793431129\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"orientalbookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61462506996046,"sku":"978-7-5085-3355-1-1235144-0-0-0-0-0-0","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/bc38f6857678ffb0fe35cae9aff7c38f5e78f4ce5ccb9c858f148f04976e3d19.jpg?v=1793418324","url":"https:\/\/orientalbookworm.com\/products\/plugging-one-s-ears-to-steal-a-noisy-bell-chinese-english-edition-a-classic-chinese-idiom-picture-book","provider":"orientalbookworm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
