JUST A MOUSE TRAP!
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his
wife opening a package; what food might it contain?
He was aghast to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning,
There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said,
Mr. Mouse, I can tell you 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 mouse trap in the house.
I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse, sympathized the pig,
ut there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are
in my prayers.
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied,
Like wow, Mr. Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, Duh?
So the mouse returned to the house
, head down and dejected to face the farmer's mouse trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house,
like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer's wife
rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness, she did not see that 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.
She returned home with a fever.
Now 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.
His wife's sickness continued so that 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, in fact,
she died, and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow
slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem
and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of
us is threatened, we are all at risk.
And so it may be with Germany, France and Belgium one day...
so what's the right responce? the mouse tells the chicken, pig & cow that there is a mousetrap, so the 4 animals break into the farmers house, kill the farmer & his wife, kill their children because they unfortunatly got in the way, and then turn on the farmer in the next door farm because we all know these farmers are all alike & he might well have mouse traps too. And all the while conveniently forget that no mouse trap was ever found...
Or should the mouse have gained proof that there was indeed a trap, and then the chiken & cow have refused to give eggs or milk until the traps were removed?
