"Staring death in the face"

Some time in the past, the mice had an overall gathering to consider what estimates they could take to outmaneuver their shared adversary, the Feline. Some said this, and that's what some said; yet finally, a youthful mouse got up and said he had a proposition to make, which he thought would meet the case. "You will all concur," said he, "that our central risk comprises the tricky and deceptive way in which the adversary approaches us. On the off chance that we could get some sign of her methodology, we could undoubtedly escape from her. I venture, hence, to suggest that a little chime be secured and joined by a strip around the neck of the Feline. This implies that we ought to continuously know when she was about and could without much of a stretch resign while she was in the area."

This proposition met with general praise until an old mouse got up and said, "That is all well overall, yet who is to stare death in the face?" The mice took a gander at each other, but no one talked. Then, at that point, the old mouse said:

"It is not difficult to propose unimaginable remedies."
