There was an old house in a village. There lived number of mice in that house. They were doing a lot of mischief there. The master of the house was very annoyed and made a plan to get rid of them. He brought a cat to kill the mice. The mice were in great difficulty. They could not move freely as before. They held a meeting to be free from this danger. Several proposals were made but none of the proposals was good. At last a young mouse rose to speak. He said, “I have a good plan. Let’s tie a bell round the cat’s neck. Then we will hear him coming and be able to hide ourselves in time. All the mice thanked the young mouse for his plan. But an old mouse stood up and said, “No doubt the idea is good. But who will tie the bell?” At this all remained silent, as there was none to tie the bell round the cat’s neck.
