The cat and the mice. Once upon a time ten mice lived in a house.

A cat also lived in the same house. The mice weren’t happy. The cat wasn’t happy either. The mice wanted to eat cheese at the kitchen, the cat wanted to eat these mice. They weren’t friends. You know that cats don’t like mice. One day the mice decided to do something about it. They had many plans and ideas but no one of these plans was good. They didn’t want to kill the cat, they just wanted to have cheese for dinner every day. At last they decided: “We must hang a bell around the cat’s neck. If the cat comes, we can run away because we can hear the cat” The mice were happy. But one very old mouse asked: “Who can put the bell on the cat’s neck?” Nobody answered. No mouse was brave enough to do that. 1 The mice and the cat lived in the same house._____ 2 The mice and the cat were not happy._____ 3 Mice liked cheese. _____ 4 Cats liked mice. _____ 5 The mice wanted to eat the cat. _____ 6 The mice decided to hang a bell around the cat’s neck. _____ 7 An old mouse was brave enough to hang a bell around the cat’s neck. _____ 8 The mice were not brave enough to hang a bell around the cat’s neck. _____
