Brueghel proverbs, episode 11: De kat de bel aanbinden
======================================================

EN: Today's Brueghel proverb.
NL: De kat de bel aanbinden.
NL: De kat de bel aanbinden.
EN: Literally: to tie the bell on the cat. Meaning: to take on the dangerous job nobody else will - to be the one who speaks up. It comes from the fable where the mice agree that a bell on the cat would save them all, and then nobody volunteers to fit it. Watch the verb: aanbinden is separable, so in a main clause the aan falls to the end.
NL: Wie bindt de kat de bel aan?
EN: Who's going to bell the cat?
NL: Fijne avond nog!
