The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
A Country Mouse invited his cousin, a City Mouse, to come and visit him in the country. The City Mouse was very disappointed with a light meal of a few beans, some roots, and a couple of dried berriers his cousin offered him and said, "You hardly have anything to eat! Come to the city with me. I will show you a rich feast of cake, cheeses, breads, fruits, cereals, and more!" And so the Country Mouse left for the city with his rich cousing. Soon they arrived at the fine townhouse where the plump City Mouse lived, and they snuck into the kitchen. The Country Mouse looked in awe at the leftover food on the table. But before he could sink his teeth into a chunck of cheese, a cat approached the dining area. The two mice quickly ran to the safety of a very small, uncomfortable hole and waited. Finally, the cat left, and the cousins ventured out to continue their feast. But it was not long before a 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. I can eat my simple meal in peace." Moral or Theme: Better to eat beans and berriers in peace than cake and in fear

The Mice in Council
Once the Mice held a council meeting to discuss the best way to protect themselves from the attack of their great enemy, the Cat. They thought of many plans. Finally, they came up with one that they all thought would be best. They wanted to tie a bell around the Cat's neck. It would tinkle whenever the Cat approached. Then they would be warned so they might run and hide in their holes. But, when the Mice asked who should bell the Cat, no one offered to do it. Moral or theme: It is one thing to think of a plan, another to act on the plan.

The Fox Who Lost His Tail
Mon
A Fox was caught in a trap. After a struggle, he was able to free himself. But he lost his tail in the process. The fox was ashamed to show himself to the other foxes. He thought they would make fun of him. So he devised a plan that would make the other foxes tailless too. If he could do this, then his own lack of a tail would not be noticed. So he called together many foxes and told them to cut off thier tails. He said they would look much better without a tail and would no longer have to carry around the weight of its bushiness. They would also escape 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 telling us to get rid of our tails." Moral or theme: Misery loves company or unhappy people don't want to unhappy alone.

American suffragist had chosen more passive ways to push for women's rights, such as writing letters, passing around petitions, and holding private meetings with political leaders. English suffragists believed in "deeds, not words." They went to great lengths to draw attention to themselves. They held parades, formed picket lines, and went on hunger strikes. Alice Paul returned to the United States with the fighting spirit
A Warrior for Women's Rights
Mon
In January 1917, a group of women paraded 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 harassed 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, determined young woman name Alice Paul. Becoming a Suffragette Alice Paul was born in 1855 in Moorestown, New Jersey, to 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. After graduating high school at the top of her class, Paul went on to college, earning degrees in biology and sociology. Afterward, she traveled 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. The Pankhursts taught Paul a new way to fight for women's equality.

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 protext women against discrimination. She fouhgt 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. Her experiences in England taught her that confrontation was the best way to bring attention to the issue of women's suffrage. Her first task as a leader in the American suffrage movement was to organize a parade in Washington, DC. She scheduled the parade for the day before President Woodrow Wilson took office. On March 3, 1913, thousands of women marchen down Pennsylvania Avenue carrying abnners demanding the right to vote. The marchers were attacked, and the police did very little to help them. Despite the violence, Paul got what she wanted: attention for her cause. Four years later, when women still had not won the right to vote, Paul organized the Silent Sentinels, and once again, the police did not protect the protestors. Instead, they arrested the women. Each day, the police arrested a few more. Although at first the women were released quickly, as their picketing continued, their jail sentences became longer. In October 1927, Paul was arrested for organizing the protests. She and the other suffragists were mistreated in jail. Newspapers published stories about the women's treatment, earning them the public's sympathy. This spurred President Wilson to annouce that he supported Paul's cause. In 1928, he presented Congress with a constitutional amendment that would grant women the right to vote. Two years later, the amendment-the 19th-became the law.
