A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife
open a package. "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was
devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the
mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a
mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head
and
said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of
no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it. "The mouse turned to the
pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in
the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but
there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my
prayers. "The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the
house!
There is a mousetrap in the house! "The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm
sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose. "So, the mouse returned to the
house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very
night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap
catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the
darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had
caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and
she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh
chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's
main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors
came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the
pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for
her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all
of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great
sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it
doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at
risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye
out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
