The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
A Country Mouse invited his cousin, a City Mouse, to come and visit him. The City Mouse was very disappointed with the sparse meal of a few beans, some roots, and a couple of dried berriers his cousin offered him. He said, "My poor cousin, you live no better than the ants. You hardly have anything to eat! Come the the city with me. I will show you a rich feast of cake, cheeses, breads, and more!" And so the Country Mouse, with one last look at his plain house, left for the city with his rich cousin. Soon they arrived at the fine townhouse where the plump City Mouse lived. They snuck into the kitchen. The people were in the parlor so the coast was clear, at least so they thought. The Country Mouse looked in awe at the leftover food on the table. But before he could sink his teeth into a chunk of cheese, a cat appraoched the dining area. The two mice quickly scampered to the safety of a very small, uncomfortable hole. Finally, the cat left, and the cousins ventured out to resume their feast. But it was not long before the dog entered the kitchen and the two mice had to return to the narrow little hole. This was too much for the Country Mouse. He turned to his cousin and said, "You certainly live in luxury, but you are surrounded by dangers. Good-bye! I prefer my humble home, where I can eat my simple meal in peace."

The Mice in Council
Once the Mice held a council meeting to discuss the best means of protecting themselves againt the attack of their great enemy, the Cat. They debated many plans and finally came up with the one that they all thought would be the best. They proposed to tie a bell around the neck of the Cat. It would tinkle whenever the Cat approached, warning them so that they might run and hide in their holes. But when the Mice asked who should bell the Cat, no one offered to do so. Moral or theme: It is one thing to think of a plan, another to act on the plan.

The Fox Who Lost His Tail
A Fox was caught in a trap. After a struggle, he was able to free himself but lost his tail in the process. Ashamed to expose himself to the ridicule of his fellow foxes, he sought to devise a scheme that would bring all other foxes into a similar condition of being tailless. If he could do so, then his own lack of a tail would not be noticed. So he called together a great many foxes and told them to cut off their tails, saying that they would look much better without a tail and would no longer have the inconvenience of carrying around the weight of its bushiness. They would also escpae more easily from their enemy, the Dog. One of the older and wiser foxes interrupted the Fox and said, "If you had not lost your tail, you would not be counseling us to get rid our tails." Moral or theme: Misery loves company or unhappy people don't want to unhappy alone.

A Warrior for Women's Rights
Mon
In January 1917, a group of women marched silently in front of the White House. Each carried a banner asking for the right to vote. One banner read, "Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?" These women, called Silent Sentinels, picketed outside the White House almost every day for eighteen months. Passersby attacked the women and called them names, but the demonstrators continued their silent march. These women were the first ever to protest in front of the White House. Their leader was a brave young woman name Alice Paul. Becoming a Suffragette Alice Paul was born in 1885 in Moorestown, New Jersey. She came from a Quaker family that believed in women's education and women's equality, uncommon beliefs for the time. Her mother worked for women's suffrage and brought young Alice to her suffrage meetings. Paul graduated high school at the top of her class and went on to college. She earned degrees in biology and sociology before going to England to study social work. Her stay in England transformed Paul. She met Emmeline & Christabel Pankhurst, leaders of the women's suffrage movement in England. These women taught Paul a new way to fight for women's equality. American suffragusts had chosen quieter ways to push for women's rights. They wrote letters, passed around petitions, and held private meetings with political leaders. English suffragists believed in "deed, not words." They held parades, formed picket lines, and went on hunger strikes. Alice Paul returned to the United States with a fighting spirit.

A Tireless Crusader Paul's efforts to achieve women's equality did not end with the passage of the 19th Amendment. In 1921, she wrote the Equal Rights Amendment, which sought to protect women against discrimination. She fought for its passage until her death in 1977.
Taking to the Streets Alice Paul had always been shy, but she was not afraid of confrontation. She learned in England that confrontation was the best way to bring attention to the issue of women's suffrage. Her first act as leader in the American suffrage movement was to organize a parade in Washington, DC. She scheduled the parade the day before President Woodrow Wilson took office. On March 3, 1913, thousands of women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue carrying banners demanding the right to vote. The marchers were attacked, and the police did very little to help them. Despite the attacks, Paul got what she wanted: attention for her cause. Four years later, when women still did not have the right to vote, Paul organized the Silent Sentinels. Again, the police did not protect the protestors. Instead, they arrested the women. Each day, a few more were arrested. At first, the women were released quickly. As their picketing continued, however, their jail sentences became longer. In October 1917, Paul was arrested for organizing the protests. She and the other suffragists were mistreated in jail. Newspapers printed stories about the women's treatment, earning them the public's sympathy. President Wilson announced that he supported Paul's cause. In 1918, he sent Congress a constitutional amendment-the 19th-became the law.
