Mousetrap

Mousetrap A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wifeopen 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 this 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, Ican 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 isnothing 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 thefarmer's mousetrap . . . Alone.. . . That

very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- the sound Of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she didnot see it. It was a venomous snake whose tail was caught in the trap.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home she still had 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. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

But, alas, the farmer's wife did not get well... She died.

So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all ofthem for the funeral luncheon. And 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 you think itdoesn'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. - REMEMBER -

EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY. OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

[Guruvayur] Mousetrap

Mousetrap

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 this 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

-- 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. It was a venomous snake whose tail was caught in the trap.

The snake bit the farmer's wife.

The farmer rushed her to the hospital.

When she returned home she still had 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.

Friends and neighbors

came to sit with her

around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

But, alas, the farmer's wife did not get well...

She died.

So many people came for her funeral

that the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of

them for the funeral luncheon.

And 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 you 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.

- REMEMBER -

EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD

IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY.

OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER

FOR A REASON.
