SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE

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
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.”
o, 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
Have a lovely day!!!
