They held a meeting and all of them tweeted
"We must get rid of the cat. It is not fair, before
we lived here happily and now we are starving.
Can someone give a suggestion"?
All the mice sat and tried to decide what to do.
A smart mouse stood up and said, "The cat
moves softly. That is the problem. If we
can tie a bell around her neck, then things will
be fine. We can know the movements of the
cat".
“Yes, that is the answer for our problem,” all
the mice agreed and got really excited.
An old mouse slowly stood up and asked, "Who
is going to tie the bell?"
