A  MOUSE TRAP  STORY..................
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.
Im  sorry for you, but its no  skin
off  my  nose."
So,  the mouse returned to  the
house,  head down and  dejected,
to  face the farmers  mousetrap
alone.
That  very night a sound was heard throughout the house --  
like  the
sound  of a mousetrap catching  its
prey.
The  farmers 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
farmers wife. The farmer  rushed her to a 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 soups  main
ingredient.
But  his wifes sickness  continued,
so  friends and neighbors came  to
sit  with her around the  clock.
To  Feed them the farmer butchered the  pig.
The  farmers 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
doesnt  concern you, remember --  
when  one of us is  threatened,
we  are all at risk.
