7 Ideas Are Easy The cat hunts the mouse. The mouse tries to avoid being caught. It has always been this way. It is not easy being a mouse in such circumstances. And so, one day, the mice held a community meeting. The topic of discussion was what to do about the cat. " The cat is our enemy, " exclaimed one young mouse. " We must do something to protect ourselves! " cried the other mice. “ We cannot live this way, for it is too dangerous to go out during the day. Even at night, the cat lurks in the shadows waiting to pounce on one of us as we go about our business. " There was general agreement that a solution must be found to this serious problem. At once, a young mouse jumped to his feet. “ I have an idea, " said the young mouse, who was considered a future leader. “ As we know, our problem is the way the cat sneaks up silently on us when we least expect him. My proposal is simple and foolproof. "

The other mice nodded in anticipation, happy to see wisdom in such a young future leader. “ The solution is to hang a bell around the cat's neck. When he approaches, the bell will ring, and we will be warned in time to escape. " His fellow mice applauded loudly and thought, “ Now this is a smart mouse. Surely he will be our leader one day. " Just then, a wise old mouse stood up to address the other mice. “ That is a good idea, " said the old mouse. " Now may I ask, who will volunteer to hang the bell around the cat's neck?" There was general silence among the mice then. No one stood up to volunteer for such a dangerous job. The old mouse said, “ It is easy to suggest a solution - especially when carrying it out is impossible. "
