Lenny: Kitty is getting fatter and fatter every day. She is eating more and
more.
Theodore: Soon she will eat all of us. We need to do something.
Lenny: You’re right. But what can we do
Theodore: Let’s have a meeting first. Tell all the mice to come to my house
tonight.
Lenny: Don’t worry. I’ll tell everyone to come. We’ll all be there.

Mr. Toby: What’s up, Theo Why did you call us so late
Lenny: Well, Mr. Toby, today Kitty got little Joe.
Mr. Toby: Not again! Are you sure
Lenny: Yes, Theodore and I saw it together. It was really terrible.
Theodore: We must stop this now!!!
Lenny: If we don’t, we’ll all be eaten, too.
Mr. Toby: I agree with you. But what can we do？We are so small and helpless.
Theodore: That’s why we are here. Together, let’s think of a way.
Mr. Toby: Let’s trap Kitty.
Mrs. Toby: But dear, Kitty is much bigger than us. How can we trap her
Mr. Toby: I don’t know, dear.

Theodore: Come on everyone, think harder.
Buster: Well, uh, how about just staying away from Kitty
Theodore: What do you mean, Buster
Buster: It’s simple. Just stay inside our mouseholes and don’t come out.
Lenny: Then what do we eat, Buster We have to go out for food. Or else, we’ll
starve to death.
Mrs. Toby: My, my, that’s just as terrible. I don’t want to starve.
Mr. Toby: How about just running away When we see Kitty coming, just run.
Mrs. Toby: Not a bad idea, dear. But what happens when we don’t see Kitty
coming
Mr. Toby: I didn’t think of that.

Felix: Well, uh How about hanging a bell around Kitty’s neck When we hear the
bell, we can run away.
Theodore: That’s it!!! Why didn’t I think of that
Lenny: You are a genius! Hurray for Felix!!!
Mrs. Toby: Good job!!
Mr. Toby: Now we are all saved! Let’s celebrate!
Grandpa Willy: Wait a minute!
Theodore: What’s wrong, Grandpa Willy
Grandpa Willy: The idea is wonderful, I agree.
But I have just one question.
Lenny: What’s that, Grandpa Willy
Grandpa Willy: WHO is going to hang the bell around Kitty

Mr. Toby: Well, uh I would like to, but I am too old. So how about you, Buster
You are young and strong.
Buster: No, thank you. I am not that strong. Lenny would be better. He is slim
and fast.
Lenny: I am not that fast. How about you, Felix You are smart. And it was YOUR
idea.
Felix: What! Me! No, thanks. I don’t want to be eaten. We better think of
another plan.
