THE BELLING OF THE
CAT
All
of the mice met in council to discuss the best way to secure against attacks
of the cat. After several suggestions were debated, a mouse of experience
and standing got up and said: "I think I have hit upon a plan which will
ensure our future safety." We will fasten a bell around the neck of our
enemy, the cat, which by its tinkling will warn us of her approach."
As the proposal was being applauded, a mouse who was even wiser stood up
on his feet and said: "It is easy to propose impossible solutions. I agree
that it is an admirable plan, but who is going to bell the cat?"
