| Who Will Bell the Cat / Who will Tie the Bell on the Cat’s Neck? |
Once the house of a rich man was infested with rats. The house became like the town of Hamelin. There were rats everywhere. They were doing a lot of mischiefs there. They enjoyed so much freedom that they started taking away foods, cutting cloths, and making holes here and there. The member of the house could not take a sound sleep at all. Even sometimes, the mice became so aggressive that they started biting the babies.
The master of the house became very annoyed at this and lost his patience. At last, he hit upon a plan. He bought a cat to kill the mice. The cat started killing the mice one by one. As a result, all the mice got frightened and could not move as before. In this situation, they sat in a conference to get rid of the cat. Many proposals were made but none of those were acceptable.
At last, a young mouse rose up and said, “I have a good plan. Let us tie a bell around the neck of the cat. When the cat will come, we can be able to save ourselves by hearing the sound of the bell.”
All the mice thanked him for his good plan. But an old mouse said, “Certainly the plan is good. But who will tie the bell?”
Hearing this all the mice remained silent. So, the conference ended in smoke and eventually, they left the house to save their own lives.
