Mouse Trap

[amaan 65]

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 bull and told him "There is a mousetrap in the

house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The bull 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 bull. 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. We must keep an eye out

for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each

of us is a vital thread in another person's tapestry.
