Belling
the
cat(系铃于猫)
Long
ago,
there
was
a
big
cat
in
the
house.
He
caught
many
mice
while
they
were
stealing
food.
One
day
the
mice
had
a
meeting
to
talk
about
the
way
to
deal
with
their
common
enemy.
Some
said
this,
and
some
said
that.
At
last
a
young
mouse
got
up,
and
said
that
he
had
a
good
idea.
"We
could
tie
a
bell
around
the
neck
of
the
cat.
Then
when
he
comes
near,
we
can
hear
the
sound
of
the
bell,
and
run
away."
Everyone
approved
of
this
proposal,
but
an
old
wise
mouse
got
up
and
said,
"That
is
all
very
well,
but
who
will
tie
the
bell
to
the
cat?"
The
mice
looked
at
each
other,
but
nobody
spoke.
从前,一所房子里面有一只大猫,他抓住了很多偷东西的老鼠。
一天,老鼠在一起开会商量如何对付他们共同的敌人。会上大家各有各的主张,最后,一只小老鼠站出来说他有一个好主意。
“我们可以在猫的脖子上绑一个铃铛,那么如果他来到附近,我们听到铃声就可以马上逃跑。”
大家都赞同这个建议,这时一只聪明的老耗子站出来说:“这的确是个绝妙的主意,但是谁来给猫的脖子上绑铃铛呢?”老鼠们面面相觑,谁也没有说话。
寓意:
有些事情说起来容易,做起来却很难
