The Mice in Council
THE MICE summoned a council to decide how they might best
devise means of warning themselves of the approach of their great
enemy the Cat. Among the many plans suggested,
Newport cigarettes, the one that
found most favor was the proposal to tie a bell to the neck of the
Cat,
Monster beats headphones, so that the Mice,
basketball lanyards, being warned by the sound of the tinkling,
might run away and hide themselves in their holes at his approach.
But when the Mice further debated who among them should thus
"bell the Cat," there was no one found to do it.

The Wolf and the Housedog
A WOLF, meeting a big well-fed Mastiff with a wooden collar
about his neck asked him who it was that fed him so well and yet
compelled him to drag that heavy log about wherever he went.
"The master," he replied. Then said the Wolf: "May no friend of
mine ever be in such a plight; for the weight of this chain is
enough to spoil the appetite."
