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 proclaimed the warning: There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house! '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, 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 is a mousetrap in the house! ‘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.
