The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">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."</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">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."</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The mouse  turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">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.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The snake bit the farmer's wife.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever..</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">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.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">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.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New">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.
