One of the best things to hold onto

Posted November 5th, 2008 by Destroyer

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, MrMouse,
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.
