A Little Mouse Story

A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his
wife opening a package. What food might it contain? He was aghast to
discover that it was a mouse trap.
Retreating to the farmyard the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a
mouse trap in the house, a mouse trap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Excuse me,
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 mouse trap in the
house, a mouse trap in the house!"

"I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse," sympathized the pig, "but there is
nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured that you are in my
prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow. She said, "You say, Mr. Mouse. A mouse
trap? Like I am in grave danger....NOT!"

So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the
farmer's mouse trap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound
of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what
was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that 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. She returned home with a fever.
Now 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.

His wife's sickness continued so that 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 and a few days later she passed away.
So many people came for her funeral, that the farmer had the cow
slaughtered, to provide meat for all of them to eat.

So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think
that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is
threatened, we all may be at risk.

We are all one family on this planet Earth!
