A mouse looked through a crack(缝隙) in the wall to see thefarmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain? He wasastonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Running to the farmyard, the mouse shouted,warning everyone, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap inthe house.”
The chicken, with her head high, glared atthe mouse and said, “Shut up. Little Ugly. This is a great concern to you, butit has nothing to do with me; I can’t be troubled by it.
The mouse turned to the pig and told him,“There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr. Mouse,” said the pigsympathetically, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; you are alwaysin my prayers.”
The mouse turned to the cow, who relied, “A mouse trap, am I in great danger, huh?”
Now the mouse had to face the farmer’smouse trap alone.
The very night a sound was heard throughthe house, like that of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’swife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was abig poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’swife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Itis said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever, so the farmertook his sharp knife to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’ssickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around theclock. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. The farmer’s wife did not getwell, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmerhad the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat.
So next time when someone is facing aproblem, don’t say that it has nothing to do with you. Remember: when the leastof us is threatened, we all might be at risk.
