One day a group of mice decided to call a meeting to

see what they could do about the cat which was
always trying to catch them. They talked about lots of
plans but none of them seemed like they would work.

would be able to hear when he was coming closer. All
the mice thought this was an excellent idea. However,
an older mouse got up and spoke, "This is a really
good idea but who is going to tie the bell around the
cat's neck?"
