Long long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He caught many mice.
One day the mice had a meeting to deal with their common enemy.
A young mouse said that he had a good idea.
“We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. When he comes near, we can hear the sound and run away.”
Everyone agreed, but an old wise mouse got up and said, “That is all very well, but who will tie the bell?”The mice looked at each other, but nobody spoke.
给猫挂铃铛
很久以前,房子里有只大猫。他抓住了许多老鼠。
一天,老鼠们开会讨论对付他们共同敌人的方法。
一只年轻的老鼠说他有一个好办法:我们给猫的脖子上拴一个铃当,当猫走近的时候,我们就可以听到铃声,就可以逃跑了。每个老鼠都同意这个建议,但是一只老老鼠站起来说:那谁去给猫戴上铃当呢?老鼠们你看我,我看你,没人出声了。
