A mouse Story..

curi-ed dis story from marcus's blog... a nice 1...

n finally i hav time to browse through my frend's blog...

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 mousewondered

he was devastated to discoverit 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 headand said,

"Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concernto 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 butpray. 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."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down anddejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout thehouse -- 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 snakewhose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed herto 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 thesoup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighborscame 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 peoplecame 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 wallwith great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem andthink 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 anextra effort to encourage one another.
