🐭🔔 Belling the Cat 고양이 목에 방울

📜 Script NARRATOR:
In an old house, a group of mice lived behind the walls.
They were small, fast, and always afraid.

Why?

Because of the cat.

NARRATOR:
The cat was big and quiet.
He walked without a sound—tip… tap… tip… tap…
Then—Pounce! He scared the mice every time.

NARRATOR:
One day, the mice had a meeting.

They sat in a circle and talked in whispers.

🐭 MOUSE 1:
“We must stop the cat. He is too sneaky.”

🐭 MOUSE 2:
“But how? We can’t run fast enough.”

NARRATOR:
Then a young mouse had an idea.

🐭 MOUSE 3:
“Let’s put a bell on the cat’s neck!
When he walks, we’ll hear it and run!”

NARRATOR:
All the mice cheered.

🐭 MICE (together):
“Yes! A bell! That’s perfect!”

NARRATOR:
Then an old mouse stood up.
He had long whiskers and a quiet voice.

🐭 OLD MOUSE:
“That sounds smart… but who will bell the cat?”

NARRATOR:
Suddenly, the room went silent.
The mice looked down. No one said a word.

NARRATOR (ending):
And so, the cat stayed silent.
And the mice stayed scared.

It’s easy to talk.
But hard to do.

THE END.
