A little mouse living on a farm was looking through a crack in the wall
one day and saw the farmer and his wife opening a package. The mouse was
intrigued by what food the package may contain. He was aghast to discover
that it was a mouse trap. The mouse ran to the farmyard warning everyone "there
is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house."
The chicken raised his head and said "Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this trap
is a grave concern to you, but it has no consequence to me and I cannot
be bothered with it.
" The mouse turned to the pig "I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse, but the trap
is no concern of mine either."
The mouse then turned to the bull, "sounds like you have a problem Mr.
Mouse, but not one that concerns me."
The mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected that no one would
help him or was concerned about his dilemma.
He knew he had to face the trap on his own. That night the sound of a trap
catching its prey was heard throughout the house.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she
could not see that it was a venomous snake who's tail the trap had caught. The
snake bit the farmers wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer
knew the best way to treat a fever was with chicken soup. The farmer took his
hatchet to the farmyard to get the soups main ingredient. The wife got
sicker and friends and neighbours came by to take turns sitting with her
round the clock. The farmer knew he had to feed them, so he butchered the pig.
The farmer wife did not get better, in fact she died and so many friends and family came
to her funeral that the farmer had to slaughter the bull to feed all of them.
So the next time we hear that one of our team-mates is facing a problem
and think it does not concern or effect us, let us remember that when anyone of us is in trouble, we
are all at risk.
