A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to s! ee 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 "T! here 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 wif! e 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 chi! cken 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.
REMEMBER: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend.
