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!
