Translation (Gun Mai) Once upon a time, there were many mice. Those a lot of mice were living together in a house. They were living together in the house and when they were looking for food, there was a cat and the cat was about to eat them. Sometimes, the cat missed them but sometimes if they were not fast enough to run, they were eaten by the cat. Most of them were eaten. Therefore, the mice organized a meeting. "We are just becoming food of the cat. We are very pitiful. Let's discuss how can we free from the cat" said a cat and all mice agreed to do the meeting. In the meeting, a mouse said that "Now, we cannot looking for food. It is also impossible to separate to another house among us as we have to live in this house together. The cat is very smart so how we will be free from the cat." At that time, the cat was listening near their hole. The leader of the mouse asked that "How should we do to free from the cat?" No one answered the question and just gazed. But, a little mouse said that "I know how to do to free from the cat." "If you know, tell us. We want to know," said the mice. The little mouse said that "In order the cat not to be able to eat us, I will tell something. If we can hang a bell on the neck of the cat, we can hear the bell even from very far when the cat is coming. We can run from very far and we can escape from the cat. No one will be eaten anymore. If we are very far from the cat, we can also hide in any hole and the cat won't be able to eat us." All mice agreed that it was a good idea. But, an adult mouse said that "It is good that you all agreed on the idea. So, who will hang the bell on the neck of the cat?" Everyone was just amazed. When they were astonishing, the cat was about to come into their hole. And when that cat made his sound, all mice scared and ran away. It is the end.
