Idiom story

Once upon a time, there was a man who saw other people set up nets to catch birds and found that each bird's head was only drilled with a net. He thought, in this case, why do you need to make a net? When he came home, he cut the long rope to make a circle. When people asked him what he was doing, he laughed but didn't answer. He was glad that he had a clear idea, so he found a place where there was no one to set up the net of the hole. As a result, none of the birds were caught.
