SCRIPT:
(There`s a table in the center of the room. A mouse sits behind the table. Some mice are standing and talking at the same time. There are chairs in the room).
Chairman: Quiet in the room! We are about to start our meeting. (mice sit). Today we will talk about the cat. What do you have to say?
(A mouse stands up)
Mouse 1: We would be happy if it weren`t for him!
Chairman: We already know that!.
Mouse 2: I hate that cat!
Chairman: The point is… that he scares us.
Mouse 3: We can`t go on like this anymore!
Mouse 4: We don`t have a life!
Mouse 5: We can never eat, that’s why I’m always hungry!
Mouse 6: He is so quiet. We never know when he`s approaching.
(All the mice talk at the same time. One mouse interrupts the conversation).
Mouse 7: I know what we can do! At home I have a small bell.
Mouse 8: So?
Mouse 7: So I was thinking that next time we see him taking his nap, we can attach the bell to his neck.
Mouse 9: Oh, I get! That way, when he comes to get us we will hear the sound of the bell.
Mouse 10: And we will be able to escape on time.
(All the mice clap and they hug and kiss each other. The chairman looks at an old mouse who sits on the back of the room)
Chairman: How come you are not happy like us?
Old Mouse: It`s not a bad idea…but before I celebrate I have to know something.
Chairman: What is it?
Old Mouse: Who will attach the bell to the cat`s neck?
(There is silence in the room. The cat enters and all the mice run around the room)
Chairman: The cat! The meeting is over!
(The cat chases the mice out of the room)
