NAME:
Once, the mice called a meeting to decide on a plan to get rid of their enemy, the cat. At least they wanted to find a way to know when it was coming so they would have time to get away. Indeed, something had to be done, as they lived in such fear of its claws that they hardly dared to come out of their burrows night or day.
Many plans were discussed, but none of them were considered good enough. At last a very young mouse stood up and said:
– I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will work. All we have to do is hang a bell around the Cat's neck. When we hear the bell ring, we will immediately know that our enemy is coming.
All the mice were very surprised that they had not thought of such a plan before. But in the midst of rejoicing at his good fortune, an old Rat stood up and said:
– I will say that the young Rat's plan is very good. But let me ask you a question: Who is going to put the Cat?
Moral of the story: It is one thing to say that something must be done, but quite another to do it.
