In the story, a thief wanted to steal a big bell, but it rang loudly. Instead of finding a better solution, he covered his own ears, believing that if he couldn’t hear the sound, no one else could either. Of course, that wasn’t true and he was quickly caught.</p><p>This story reminds us that pretending a problem doesn’t exist won’t make it go away. Being honest, thinking clearly, and facing situations bravely are far wiser choices.</p><p>So little ones, when you’re faced with something difficult, remember: covering your ears won’t make the problem disappear. Let’s learn to think carefully, ask for help when needed, and make honest decisions.</p><p>If you would like to connect with us, come chat with us on our page at 👉 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.exploart.org">www.exploart.org</a></p><p></p>
