Bell The Cat

There was a grocery shop in a town. Plenty of mice lived in that grocery shop. Food was in
plenty for them. They ate everything and spoiled all the bags. They also wasted the bread, biscuits
and fruits of the shop. The grocer got really worried. So, he thought “ I should buy a cat and let it
stay at the grocery. Only then I can save my things. “ He bought a nice, big fat cat and let him stay
there. The cat had a nice time hunting the mice and killing them. The mice could not move freely
now. They were afraid that anytime the cat would eat them up.
The mice wanted to do something. They held a meeting and all of them tweeted “ We must
get rid of the cat. Can someone give a suggestion”? All the mice sat and brooded. A smart looking
mouse stood up and said, “ The cat moves softly. That is the problem. If we can tie a bell around her
neck, then things will be fine. We can know the movements of the cat.”
“ Yes, that is the answer,” stated all the mice. An old mouse slowly stood up and asked,
“Who would tie the bell?” After some moments there was no one there to answer this question.
