Long ago,there was a big cat in the house. He caught many mice while they were stealingfood.
One day the mice had a meetingto talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. Some said this,, andsome said that.
At last a young mouse gotup, and said that he had a good idea.
”We could tie a bellaround the neck of the cat. Then when he comes near, we can hear the sound ofthe bell, and run away.“
Everyone approved of thisproposal, 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, butnobody 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奇特的敌人。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。
“咱们可能在猫的脖子上绑一个铃铛，那么如果他来到附近，咱们听到铃声就能够立即逃跑。”
大家都同意这个倡导，这时一只聪明的老耗子站出来说：“这确切是个绝妙的主意，然而谁来给猫的脖子上绑铃铛呢？”老鼠们面面相觑，谁也不谈话。
寓意：有些事件说起来容易，做起来却很难。
A wolf was almost dead with hunger. A house-dog saw him, and asked, “Friend, your irregular life will soon ruin you. ”Why dont you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?“ ”I would have no objection,“ said the wolf, ”if I could only get a place.“ ”I will help you,“ said the dog. ”Come with me to my master, and you shall share my work.“ So the wolf and the dog went to the town together. On the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dogs neck. He felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was like that? ”Oh, it is nothing,“ said the dog. ”Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up. You will soon get used to it.“ ”Is that the only reason?“ said the wolf. ”Then good-bye to you, my friend. I would rather be free.“
