掩耳盜鈴的故事
春秋時候，晉國世家趙氏滅掉了範氏。有人趁機跑到範氏家裏想偷點東西，看見院子裏吊着一口大鐘。鍾是用上等青銅鑄成的，造型和圖案都很精美。小偷心裏高興極了，想把這口精美的大鐘揹回自已家去。可是鍾又大又重，怎麼也挪不動。他想來想去，只有一個辦法，那就是把鐘敲碎，然後再分別搬回家。
小偷找來一把大錘子，拼命朝鐘砸去，咣的一聲巨響，把他嚇了一大跳。小偷着慌，心想這下糟了，這鐘聲不就等於是告訴人們我正在這裏偷鍾嗎？他心裏一急，身子一下子撲到了鐘上，張開雙臂想捂住鐘聲，可鐘聲又怎麼捂得住呢！鐘聲依然悠悠地傳向遠方。
他越聽越害怕，不由自主地抽回雙手，使勁捂住自已的耳朵。“咦，鐘聲變小了，聽不見了！”小偷高興起來，“妙極了！把耳朵捂住不就聽不進鐘聲了嗎！”他立刻找來兩個布團，把耳朵塞住，心想，這下誰也聽不見鐘聲了。於是就放手砸起鍾來，一下一下，鐘聲響亮地傳到很遠的地方。人們聽到鐘聲蜂擁而至把小偷捉住了。

掩耳盜鈴的故事點評
鐘的響聲是客觀存在的，不管你是否捂住耳朵，它都是要響的。凡是客觀存在的東西，它不會依人的主觀意志而改變。有的人對對自己不利，或不喜歡的客觀存在，採取不承認的態度，以爲這樣做，它就不存在了，這和“掩耳盜鈴”一樣，都是極端的主觀唯心主義——唯我論的表現。小朋友們，可千萬不要做這樣的人噢~
