A family of mice lived in a house with a cat. The cat was quick and quiet, and she caught the mice one by one. The mice were very afraid.
One day all the mice met together to find a plan. A young mouse stood up. "I have the answer," he said. "Let us tie a small bell to the cat. Then, when she comes near, we will hear the bell and run away."
All the mice clapped. It was a wonderful plan. Everyone was happy and smiling.
Then a very old mouse stood up slowly. "It is a good plan," he said. "But tell me one thing. Who will put the bell on the cat?" And no mouse said a word.
Moral: It is easy to say a thing, but hard to do it.
