The Mice Meeting

The Mice Meeting
Once upon a time upon a time a number of mice called a meeting to decide upon the best means of ridding themselves of a cat that that had killed many of their relations.
Various plans were discussed and rejected, until at last a young mouse proposed that a bell should be hung around tyrant’s neck in future, so that they would have plenty of warning of her movements and therefore time to escape.
The suggestion was received joyfully by nearby all but an old mouse, who had sat silently listening to the talk for some time, got up and said: ‘ While I consider the plan to be a very clever one, and feel sure that it would prove to be quite successful if carried out, I should like to which brave mouse is going to put a bell on the cat?’
Necessity is the mother of invention.
