Who will bell the cat : Short stories for kids

There was a grocery shop in a village. Plenty of mice lived in that grocery shop. Food was in plenty for them. They ate everything and spoiled all the bags that purchased by the owner. They also wasted the bread, biscuits and fruits of that shop.

The grocery owner got really worried. So, he thought "I should buy a cat and let it stay at the grocery shop. Only then I can save my things."He bought a nice, big fat cat and let him stay there. The cat had a nice time hunting the mice and killing them. The mice could not move freely now. They were afraid that anytime the cat would eat them up.The mice wanted to do something. 

They held a meeting and all of them said, "We must get rid of the fat cat. Can someone give a suggestion"? All the mice sat and thought of a solution. A small mouse just stood up and said, The cat moves oftly. If we can tie a bell around her neck, then things will be fine.We can know the movements of the cat".“Yes, that is answer,” stated all the mice. An old mouse slowly stood up and asked, "Who would tie the bell?" After some time there was no one to answer the question. They all left from that place because cat just pounce one of them.
