A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see thefarmer & his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? He was aghast to discover that itwas a rat trap.
Retreating to the farmyard the rat proclaimed the warning; "There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!"
The chicken clucked & scratched, raised her head& said, "Excuse me, Mr. Rat, I can tell this is a graveconcern to U, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The rat turned to the sheep & told him, "There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in d house!" "I am so very sorry Mr. Rat," sympathized the sheep,"but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured that you are in my prayers."
The rat turned to the cow. She said, "Like wow, Mr. Rat. A rat trap. I'm not in grave danger.?"
... So the rat returned to the house, head down & dejected, to face the farmer's rat trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout thehouse, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness, she did not see that 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. She returned home with a fever.
Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took the chicken to the farm kitchen for the soup's main ingredient.
His wife's sickness continued so that friends & neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them the farmer butchered the sheep.
The farmer's wife did not get well. She died, & so many people came for her funeral that the farmerhad the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So, the next time u hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat-trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk.
