Well worth the reading:


A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife
open a package. "What food might this contain?" 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."
>
>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. She 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 s! ickness 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.
>
>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.
>
>In the book of Genesis, Cain said this about Able, his brother, to our God:
>
>"Am I my brother's keeper?"
>
>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.
