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 thought. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard where other animals were reared, the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The head amongst 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 for you, 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 goat. 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 sickness continued, so friends and neighbours 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 goat 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. Life is all about taking risk..so dont hesistate to take risk !!!

another nice one story from you my friend. keep it coming and share it with us! The lesson in this one is very true, in some cases when you became apathetic to the situation, in the end its toll cam upon you. so be wary every time and think again before ignoring it.
