Long ago the mice held a council to consider what measures they could take to outwit their common enemy., the cat. Many plans were discussed and rejected when, at last , a young mouse stood up and said, "I think I have a plan that will ensure our safety. You will all agree that the chief danger is the sly, quiet manner in which the cat approaches us. I therefore propose that a small bell be attached around the cat's neck. This way we will always know when the cat is approaching." This plan was warmly applauded, until a wise old mouse stood up and said, "I agree with everyone that the plan is very clever, but who is going to put the bell on the cat?
Moral: It is easy to propose the impossible solutions.
