Once lived a cat- many rats in an old house- the cat eats one rat everyday- one day the most old rat organise a meeting- the most young rat give a suggestion to put a bell in the cat’s neck- then a rat asks that who will bell the cat ? – then all rats went silent .
can u give a moral for this story ?
