Default Story - Bell the Cat " Being Pragmatic"

At a grocer’s shop there were a mice everywhere. People didn’t want to come to his shop anymore.
So, the grocer kept a cat. She chased the mice and ate some each day. The mice had no chance to feed on anything more.
Troubled by the cat, mice held a meeting to get rid of the cruel animal as she killed them ruthlessly and their number was falling down. Each mouse suggested his idea but all ideas were rejected, as they were not practicable.
At last, a young mouse suggested to tie a bell round the cat’s neck when she was fast asleep so that when she would move, the bell shall ring and warn them of the danger. So, they will run to safety.
Everybody approved the idea but the question was- who will bell the cat?
All the mice looked at each other in despair and the meeting got over.

L1 - Learning Level 1 (lessons from the story)

Your credibility is in practicability of what you say
No one needs Impractical suggestions
Let us be pragmatic


L2 – Learning Level 2 (experience sharing)
1. Share your experience, you were forced to implement impractical suggestions
2. Share an incident where your non-pragmatic suggestion created a Chaos
3. Share the way you would repond to a non pragmatic suggestion

L3 – Learning Level 3 (introspection)
1. In the process of finding a solution do I get into fantasy?
2. How do I arrive at a pragmatic solution ?
3. How much do I use my creative brain ?
