Who’ll bell the cat?
They
decided to tie a chain of bells round her neck to warn them of her approach.
“But who
will tie it round her neck?” they asked each other in despair.
None wanted
to and finally one tiny rat volunteered.
For the
next few days, the little rat kept a close watch on the cat and one day, when
he saw her purring to herself in front of a mirror, he went up to her and said,
“How beautiful you look! The only thing you lack is a necklace. I can’t imagine
how stunning you’d look if you wear one!”
“Oh, but I
don’t have one!” said the cat looking disappointed. Immediately the rat took out
the chain of bells he had with him and tied it round her neck.
All the
rats rejoiced.
They did
not have to worry about the cat bullying them anymore.
Moral of
the story: Nothing is impossible.
