Who Is to Bell the Cat?

Once some mice were having a good time in a rich man's house. There was the availability of rich and tasty foods. They ate cereal and made holes in the house. The mice also cut the clothes and bit the sleeping children. They were always shrieking and squeaking in the house. So, the owner brought a cat to get relief from that disturbance. The cat started to hunt mice every day. The mice were afraid of it.

So, all the mice sat together at a conference. Many of them put different opinions. But nothing was suitable. The meeting was about to end. At that time, a young mouse stood up and asked permission to put his proposal. All agreed. It said, "We will tie a bell around the cat's neck. So, we will get a warning when the cat comes. Then we can easily hide in a safe place." All the mice greeted his proposal with applause. Then an old mouse stood up and asked others to be calm. He said, "Who will bell the cat?". There was pin-drop silence. They were looking at one another. There was nobody who was brave to accomplish the task of belling the cat. Finally, the conference ended in smoke.
