- Text source is at http://www.english-for-students.com/Bell-The-Cat.html
There was a grocery shop in a town. Plenty of mice lived in that grocery shop. Food was in plenty for them. They ate everything and spoiled all the bags. They also wasted the bread, biscuits and fruits of the shop.
The grocer got really worried. So, he thought “I should buy a cat and let it stay at the grocery. Only then I can save my things.”
He bought a nice, big fat cat and let him stay there. The cat had a nice time hunting the mice and killing them. The mice could not move freely now. They were afraid that anytime the cat would eat them up.
The mice wanted to do something. They held a meeting and all of them tweeted “We must get rid of the cat. Can someone give a suggestion”?
All the mice sat and brooded. A smart looking mouse stood up and said, “The cat moves softly. That is the problem. If we can tie a bell around her neck, then things will be fine. We can know the movements of the cat”.
“Yes, that is answer,” stated all the mice. An old mouse slowly stood up and asked, “Who would tie the bell?” After some moments there was no one there to answer this question.

Developments in American Economics (Part II)
After the Civil War and the collapse of the Southern plantation system, the North increased manufacturing. Immigrants flocked to the North in search of jobs. Cities grew rapidly. New factories sprang up to meet growing demand for goods by European nations and a fast-growing American middle class. When the Civil War ended in 1865, the United States began a period of rapid economic growth. By 1890 the United States surpassed Great Britain to become the world’s largest manufacturer. New discoveries and inventions exploded on the American scene including electricity, the light bulb, the telephone, the phonograph, and the typewriter. The automobile began to replace the horse-drawn carriage, slowly at first, until 1913 Henry Ford installed the first assembly line to manufacture cars. Mass production, or the production of goods in large quantities, usually by machinery, made the automobile affordable for most Americans. As a result, the US government invested heavily in roads and oil exploration.
