| THE MICE AND THE CAT |
|---|
| There lived several families of mice in a big mansion. Life was good for them as there was always an abundance of food, especially in the kitchen. |
| But one day, the master of the mansion brought home a cat. Since then, life became miserable for the mice. |
Day or night, the cat would prowl the mansion. The mice dared not come out of their dens because the cat was always lurking around. |
As the days passed, the mice became weaker and weaker because they could not venture out of their dens to find food. |
| Finally, an old mouse said, "We cannot go on like this, or we will all die of hunger and thirst very soon. We have to find a way to deal with the cat." |
| "Indeed, we have to come up with a plan," agreed another mouse. "Let’s get all the mice together tonight and see if we can think of something." |
| Soon, it was nightfall. All the mice had gathered at their usual meeting place in the mansion. |
| The eldest mouse cleared his throat and said, "I’m sure all of us have not been very happy of late because of our common enemy, the cat." |
| All the mice nodded their heads and muttered their agreement. |
| The eldest mouse continued, "We must therefore act together now and come up with a plan to deal with the cat. Or we will all end up as the cat’s meal one day" |
| One of the mice suggested killing the cat, and every mouse agreed it was a good idea. |
| So, the mice began discussing various plans about how to kill the cat. But as soon as someone proposed a new plan, others would reject it as unworkable. |
| Finally, a young mouse said, "We may not be able to kill the cat, but perhaps we can think of a way to know its whereabouts. That way, if we know it is coming, we will have time to run" |
| The other mice cheered at the suggestion. |
| The young mouse continued, "I have a plan. It’s very simple, really. All we need to do is to hang a bell around the cat’s neck. Wherever it goes, the bell will ring. |
| If the bell is really big, we can even hear when the cat is coming before it is even close!" |
| All the mice jumped and clapped at the idea. |
| Suddenly, a wise old mouse said, "That is a very brilliant idea. Now, who will hang the bell around the cat’s neck?" |
| Moral: It is one thing to say that something should be done, but quite another to do it. |
