The mice in a house ____ afraid of the cat ____ hold a meeting ____ one proposes to tie a bell round the cats neck ____ all agree ____ who is to bell the cat ? No mouse agrees ___ the cat appears ____ all run away

Answer 1

Answer:

Once the mice living in a certain house were very unhappy. The cause of their worry was that there was a cat who used to kill them regularly. At last they held a meeting to see how they could get rid of the cat. One mouse said they should leave the house. Another said that they should not come out of their holes.

Then a young mouse stood up and said, “Let us tie a bell round the cat’s neck. Then when the cat comes, we shall hear the bell and can get out of its way*.
