The Mouse Trap
 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 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
 "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
 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 to slaughter the cow 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.
