The Mice in Council Once upon a time all the Mice met together in Council, and discussed the best means of securing themselves against the attacks of the cat.

After several suggestions had been debated, a Mouse of some standing and experience got up and said, “I think I have hit upon a plan which will ensure our safety in the future, provided you approve and carry it out. It is that we should fasten a bell round the neck of our enemy the cat, which will by its tinkling warn us of her approach.”

This proposal was warmly applauded, and it had been already decided to adopt it. But an old Mouse got upon his feet and said, “I agree with you all that the plan before us is an admirable one but may I ask  who is going to bell the cat?”

Who will Bell the Cat

Once there lived a rich man. His house was infested with rats. The house became like the house of Hamelin. There were rats everywhere.

They made a hole here and there. Again, they used to tore papers, clothes, etc. They always made noise and the members of the house could not sleep.

So one day, the housemaster brought a cat to kill the rats. The cat began to kill the rats everyday.

The rats became very afraid of the cat. They were helpless and could not move freely. So, they arranged a meeting. They talked about the problems but could not find out any good solution. They became disappointed.

At last, a little rat stood up and said, “if we tie a bell on the neck of the rat, we would know its presence and save ourselves by running away.” All the rats became very happy. This proposal was warmly accepted and it had been decided to execute the plan.

Suddenly, an old and wise rat said, “The idea is very good. But who will bell the cat?” Hearing it, all the rats became silent again.

Unity is Strength Story

A Farmer and Three Sons

Once upon a time, there was an old farmer in a village and he had three sons. They used to quarrel with each other.

The old farmer was very ill and lay dying in his bed. He always worried about them and wanted to teach them a lesson.

One day he called his sons to come to him and bring some sticks. Then he tied all of the sticks in a bundle.

After that, he said to his first son, “Can you break these sticks?” The first son tried to break the bundle. But he could not break the bundle.

Then it was the turn of the second son. He thought that he would be able to break the bundle easily. He tried his best for a few minutes to break the bundle of sticks. But it was not so easy to break the bundle so he failed.

Then, the third son also tried to break the bundle and he failed too.

Now the old farmer asked them to unite the bundle and told his sons to take sticks one by one and also asked to break them. Each of the sons took one stick and they broke them easily.

The old farmer then smiled at his sons and said to them, “My sons do you understand what I want to say? It is always easy to break the sticks one by one, but when they are bundled together, it is not so easy to break them.”

“So listen, my sons, I have become old and I may have to respond to heaven’s call any time. But I am worried about your relationship. You see from this test, if you live together nobody can harm you or if you are separate, anybody can harm you.”

Now all the three sons get the point of their father was trying to teach them. From that day they promised their father that they would never quarrel.
