掩耳盗铃的故事
春秋时候，晋国世家赵氏灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西，看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的，造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了，想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。他想来想去，只有一个办法，那就是把钟敲碎，然后再分别搬回家。
小偷找来一把大锤子，拼命朝钟砸去，咣的一声巨响，把他吓了一大跳。小偷着慌，心想这下糟了，这钟声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗？他心里一急，身子一下子扑到了钟上，张开双臂想捂住钟声，可钟声又怎么捂得住呢！钟声依然悠悠地传向远方。
他越听越害怕，不由自主地抽回双手，使劲捂住自已的耳朵。“咦，钟声变小了，听不见了！”小偷高兴起来，“妙极了！把耳朵捂住不就听不进钟声了吗！”他立刻找来两个布团，把耳朵塞住，心想，这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来，一下一下，钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。

掩耳盗铃的故事点评
钟的响声是客观存在的，不管你是否捂住耳朵，它都是要响的。凡是客观存在的东西，它不会依人的主观意志而改变。有的人对对自己不利，或不喜欢的客观存在，采取不承认的态度，以为这样做，它就不存在了，这和“掩耳盗铃”一样，都是极端的主观唯心主义——唯我论的表现。小朋友们，可千万不要做这样的人噢~
