> 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

>
> There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a

> The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her

but

>
> 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

> 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

whose

>
> 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

>
> But his wife's sickness continued, so friends

>
> 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

them.
>
> The mouse looked upon it all from his crack
> in the wall with great sadness.

effort to
