In a grain shop there was a group of
rats. But there was a big and strong
cat in the area. The cat would often
visit the shop and catch and eat
some mice for breakfast and others
for lunch or dinner. The rats lived in
fear. They were afraid of the cat .
They would come out cautiously but
the cat would come silently and pick
one up easily.
One day, the rats called a meeting
.All the rats participated. They
declared the cat to be a villain and
the greatest danger. They wanted to get rid of the rat. They thought that if
they get timely warning then they
could safely return to the holes
.They could not think of a way out. At
last, a young and healthy rat climbed
a sack and said, āWe must procure a
bell and a string. We can tie the bell
in the neck of the cat. Then
whenever the cat would come
towards us the bell would ring and
we would be easily alerted.ā
It was a great idea. Other rats
clapped at the suggestion and we are
very proud of the young rat for he
had come up with a great idea .When the rats were happy and
realized that they could live freely, an
old rat clearing his voice said loudly
,āItās all right to bell the cat but tell
me who would bell the cat?ā There
was no answer.šš
