Mouse Trap
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, there is a mouse
trap 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
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, who replied, “Like wow, Mr.
Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, Duh?”
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 wad 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; in fact, she died,
and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered to
provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone if facing a
problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of
us is threatened, we are all at risk.
Be with US. Support President George W. Bush and
his war against terror.

It goes to show we are a global community and must help one another. What a nice lesson. Thanks!
