Here you’ll read another of Aesop’s fables. It is about a cat this cat was giving the mice a big problem. It was catching and eating many of the mice daily.
Very sadly, the poor mice would say :
What can we do?”
What can we do?”
They were all very sad and unhappy.
One day, one of the older mice called a meeting
He said we must find some way to solve our problem. how can we keep that hungry cat from catching any more of us?
Each one in the meeting talking and talking and talking. None could think of any good way to solve the problem. At last, a little mouse stood up. I know what to do, he said.
Tell us quick! Tell us quick! shouted all the others.
Then stop shouting and listen, said the little mouse. The cat makes no noise when it comes. It is so quiet. It comes quietly and catches one of us. We can’t hear any sound of its paws. I think we should put a bell around the cat’s neck. Thus we can hear when it comes. we can then easily run for safety.
How wise! How wise! Shouted one.
We’re saved! We’re saved! Shouted another.
We’ll put a bell on the cat! Shouted all the other.
All the mice began to shout with joy
Among them, there was a quiet old mouse.
He stood up and looked at the little mouse.
That is a good idea, he said. a bell on the cat! Yes, a bell on the cat! But just tell me who will bell the cat!
At once, the room became all quiet.
Yes, tell us who will bell the cat!
Everyone looked at the little mouse.
Not I said the little mouse and ran out of the room
Not I said another and ran out of the room
Not I said a third and ran out of the room
One By One, all the mice ran out of the room
No one was ready to bell the cat.
