Having spoken, Mr. Longtail walked back into the crowd. Mr. Graypate arose and said: "You have heard why we are here. Anyone who has a good plan for ridding us of the cat will please tell of it. The meeting is open to all." "Let us all run at him suddenly when he is not looking for us, and each give him a bite. That would surely kill him," said one brave mouse.
Another said, "I have been very sick and am too weak to lift the bell"; and so the excuses came pouring in. At last Mr. Graypate called to the crowd, "Silence! I shall choose no one. Who will offer to bell the cat?" It was very quiet in the meeting. One after another of the younger mice went out. None but the older ones were left. At last they too went sadly home. No one would bell the cat.
There were big mice, little mice, old mice, young mice, gray mice, and brown mice, all very sober and thoughtful. At last an old mouse spoke up and said, "Shall we have Mr. Graypate for our chairman? All those who wish Mr. Graypate to be chairman will please hold up their right hands." Every mouse raised a tiny paw. Mr. Graypate walked out to the front and took charge of the meeting.
