Who is to Bell the Cat

Once the house of a rich man was infested [অধ্যুষিত] with rats. The house became like the town Hamelin. There were rats everywhere. They were having a good time. But the members of the house could not enjoy sound sleep. Even the little babies were not free from the attack and biting of the rats. The rats would take away foods, cut cloths and tear holes here and there. All the members were in great trouble. At last the owner of the house hit upon a plan. He knew that rats would run away at the sight of cats. So, he bought a cat to kill the rats. The rats came to know the presence of the cat in the house. Their lives were at stake. All the mice sat together in a conference. At last they took a decision that they would tie a bell on the neck of the cat so that they could hear the cat approaching. They raised a hue and cry over the matter because none of the rats agreed to tie a bell. They thought that the rat who would go to bell the cat would lose his life. Finally, who would bell the cat remained unsettled. So, the mice eventually [শেষ পর্যন্ত] migrated.
