"None of My Business" |A short Inspiring story |Negative My Foot

"Is it none of your bussiness?"



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.

 Each of us is a vital thread

 in another person's tapestry.
