Belling The Cat
There lived many mice in a grocer’s shop, which ate plenty of food, and the grocer suffered
very much. So, he brought a fat cat to catch the mice. The mice were worried. They held a
meeting to send away the cat.
One mouse said to tie a bell around the cat’s neck because the cat moved softly and swiftly.
So that when the cat moves, the mice would become aware of the cat. All the mice agreed to this
decision.
The old mouse asked, “Can you tell me who is to bell the cat?”
There was no reply.
