    In a cozy old house, Chintu, the wisest and oldest mouse, watched as his fellow mice darted from one corner to another, nibbling on grains and shredding papers

    Their antics had become a daily nuisance for the homeowner, who, in desperation, introduced a new guardian—Moti, the sleek and agile cat.

    Moti's arrival was like a storm, sending waves of panic through the mouse community Chintu observed as Moti prowled the kitchen, her eyes sharp and calculating

    The mice, once carefree, now trembled at the slightest rustle.

    Chintu called a meeting

    With a voice heavy with wisdom, he addressed the assembly: "We must find a way to outsmart this cat, or we're doomed." The mice exchanged nervous glances, each pondering their fate.

    One young mouse, emboldened by a spark of creativity, suggested a plan "Why not tie a bell around Moti's neck

    Then we can hear her coming!" Cheers erupted, and for a moment, hope filled the room.

    Chintu raised his paw, quieting the mice "It's a clever idea, but who will dare to bell the cat?" Uncertainty gripped them, and one by one, their confidence waned.

    Chintu pondered the situation deeply "Courage and teamwork are our true allies," he concluded

    With newfound resolve, the mice began to work together, devising a plan that did not rely solely on bravery but on collective strength and wit.
