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
backyard 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.



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;

OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.


One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a Friend.
