1. In a sane world yes,

but we have a king, mice, and cheese situation to seriously consider.

The story begins in a faraway country, where a king lives in a beautiful palace and had everything he likes, mostly cheese. His cheese makers makes the best cheese in all the land. Everyone in the country likes the smell of the cheese, even the mice. Soon, every mouse in the land smells it and runs to the palace where they consume the king's cheese.

The king doesn't like living with mice, so he asks his wise men how to get rid of the mice. They bring in cats to chase the mice away from the palace. The cats end up living with the king, who doesn't like it and asks the men how to get rid of the cats.
