There was an old house. In the house there were many mice. There was also a cat in the house. The cat killed many mice every day.
The mice did not know what to do. So one day they all came together and began to speak about the cat. "What can we do ?" they said. "The bad cat will kill us all."
"I know what to do," said one little mouse . "The cat catches us because we don't hear her. Put a bell round her neck and then we shall hear her before she comes into the room."
"That's very good," said all the mice. "Now the bad cat will not catch us."
They were very jolly till a clever mouse asked them this question: "Who will put the bell on the cat?"
