THE MICE IN COUNCIL
Aesops Fable
One day, the mice called a meeting to discuss how they might best outwit their enemy, the cat. They
talked for hours but could not find a good plan. At last, a young mouse stood up with an air of great importance.
We all know, said he, that it is the sly way in which our enemy approaches us that exposes us to great
danger. I propose that a bell be hung around the neck of the cat to alert us when he is coming, and thus we
will have time to hide. The mice were very excited about the idea. How clever! At last, we have found a way.
But then, a wise old mouse, who had remained sitting silently, stood up to speak. Yes, that is indeed a
wonderful plan. We will surely be safe. When the bell tinkles on the neck of the cat, we will have time to run.
But tell me this which one of us is going to put the bell on the cat? The mice looked at one another and no
one spoke. Then the old mouse shook his head sadly and said, Yes, my friends, many things are easier said
than alone.
