BELLING THE CAT

In a certain house which was infested with mice,the cat found easy prey. The mice were very unhappy. The cat killed so many of them that they were all in great fear. At last they held a meeting to discuss how they could get rid of nasty cat.One mouse said this, another said that,but none of the plans was of any use.then a young mouse stood up and said, the best things we can do is to tie a bell round the cat's neck. Then when the cat comes,we will hear the bell and get out of the way? All the mice shouted, "Good! Admirable! Simple! Easy!". They all thought it was a very good  plan, indeed. But now an old mouse, who had all the while been listening to the proposal quietly, stood up and said, "Yes, it is a very good plan, no doubt, but will tie the bell round the cat's neck. No one came forward to say that he would. Soon the cat came there and they all ran away into their holes.
