Once some mice were having a good time in a rich man's house. Being fed-up, the owner brought a cat. As a result, the mice fell in a great difficulty. One day all the mice sat together in a conference in order to find a way out. Different mice gave different suggestions, but none was found acceptable. At last a young mouse stood up and suggested, "If we tie a bell around the cat's neck we'll easily understand when the cat is coming to the barn and then we'll hasten into our holes:. All the mice praised the proposal except the old one. He stood up and said, "I've no doubt in my mind that the proposal is quite good, but who'll bell the cat?" Hearing this all the mice began to look at one another and felt disappointed. Finding no solution, the mice eventually migrated to another house.
