Who will bell the cat?

There lived many mice in a house. A cat also lived there. They were very afraid of the cat. They could not move about freely. One day they hit upon a plan to get rid of the cat..........

Who will bell the cat?

They held a meeting. It was decided that a bell should be tied round the neck of the cat. Then they would hear the sound of the cat’s coming and no more be killed by the cat.

There was an old mouse in the meeting. He stood up and said, “The decision is good but who will bell the cat?” Hearing this, the mice began to look at one another and felt disappointed. Finding no solution, the mice eventually migrated to another house that had no cat in it.
