The Cat and the Bell thecatandthebell

    There were many mice 1 in a house. The man of the house got 2 a cat. The cat killed 3 many of the mice.

    Then the oldest mouse said 4, " All mice must come to my hole tonight, and we will think what we can do about this cat.'

    All the mice came 5. Many mice spoke 6, but none 7 knew what to do. At last a young mouse stood 8 up and said, "We must put a bell on the cat. Then, when the cat comes near, we shall 9 hear the bell and run away and hide 10. So the cat will not catch any more mice.'

    Then the old mouse asked, " Who will put the bell on the cat?"No mouse answered.

    He waited; but still no one answered.

    At last he said, "It is not hard to say things; but it is harder to do them."
