Mouse Story ...
>>>
>>>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 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.
>>>
>>>We must keep an eye out
>>>
>>>for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
>>>
>>> IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT... SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU
>>> OUT
>>>
>>>AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>REMEMBER:
>>>
>>>EACH OF US IS A VITAL
>>>
>>>THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
