One day a little mouse watched as the peasant and his wife received a package. “I bet there’s something yummy in there”, the mouse thought. Unfortunately, in the package there was a mouse trap. The little mouse got scared and ran to tell the chicken.

“Miss chicken, I’m scared. The humans got a mouse trap for me. Can you please help me get rid of it?” said the mouse.

“I’m sorry little fellow, but this is a matter that has nothing to do with me. Deal with it yourself!” said the chicken and went back to digging through dirt.

The mouse felt bad and thought this was the end. Then he saw the pig.

“Mister pig, the humans got a mouse trap in the house. Can you help me get rid of it?”

“I can’t help you with that, my dear mouse. Unless the matter affects me directly, I don’t care. But I can pray for you, if that would help!”, said the pig.

Again, the mouse was disappointed. Then he ran to the cow.

“There’s a trap in the house and I’m scared. Can you help me get rid of it? Please miss Cow!” cried the young mouse.

“Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear that but unless it’s an emergency I can’t do anything about it. I’m sorry, get someone else do it!” said the cow.

And so, the little mouse got back into the house and cried himself to sleep. Then, in the middle of the might there was a noise in the house. The wife thought the mouse got trapped and went to see it for herself. Because the room was dark she didn’t see that in the trap a poisonous snake caught his tail and so the snake bit the peasant’s wife. The husband rushed her to the hospital but all doctors could do was to prescribe her some medicines and sent her back home.

Because she was having fever the peasant went into the hencoop and killed the chicken, to make soup for his sick wife.

 But the wife didn’t lose the fever so her family stopped by to take care of her. Because he had no food, the peasant cut the pig, to feed the family.

Soon after the wife died. Because he had to feed all the people who came at his wife’s funeral, the peasant cut the cow.

The mouse saw all those things and was sad. He said that next time someone asks for your help and you think that has nothing to do with you, you should think twice. You can never know when the wheel of fortune turns around and hits you hard.

Always help a friend!
