The Mouse Trap Story

adapted

MOUSE TRAP STORY. AND IT IS ANIMATED WITH A MORAL AT THE END" This is excellent...

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 the farmyard 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

---

Remember:

"A good friend will
come bail you
out of jail....



But a true friend will be sitting next to you
saying WE screwed
up, but we had fun!"


I've learned....
That life is like a
roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets
to the end, the
faster it goes.



I've learned....
That we should be
glad God doesn't
give us everything
we ask for.



I've learned.... That money doesn't
buy class.



I've learned...that it's those small daily
happenings that make life so spectacular.



I've learned...
That under everyone's
hard shell is someone
who wants to be
appreciated
and loved.



I've learned....
That the Lord didn't
do it all in one day
What makes me
think I can?



I've learned ....
That to ignore the
facts does not
change the facts.



I've learned....
That the less time
I have to work,
the more things
I get done.
