Mr. Wang thinks he is clever, but he always does foolish things.
One day he sees a beautiful bell at the TOP of a door.
“Oh! How nice! I will take it home.” He thinks, “What can I do?”
After a while he has a “good” idea.
“Aha! I have an idea now. I can plug my ears. Then I will not hear the ring when I take off the bell.” Then he does so.
But as soon as he takes off the bell, the owner opens the door. “What ate you doing?” the owner says angrily.
王先生总以为自己非常聪明，事实上他总干傻事。
一天，他看见一户人家的门头有个非常好看的铃铛。
“啊，真漂亮啊！我要把它拿回家去。”他自言自语道：“我该如何做呢？”
过了一会儿他想到了一个“好”主意。
“啊哈！我有方法了！我把耳朵堵上，拿铃铛的时候就听不见铃声了。” 于是他就如此做了。
可是他刚拿下铃铛，屋子的主人就打开门，怒气冲冲地说：“你在做什么？”
