A mouse looked through the hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package， and he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap． Returning to the farmyard， he warned everybody， "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken raised her head and said， "Thanks for your warning， Mr． Mouse， but why should I be bothered by a mousetrap？" The pig sympathized， but said， "Wow， Mr． Mouse， I'm sorry for you． I can tell this is a great concern to you， but it is none of my business．" The cow was busy eating grass， and said， "I am very sorry， Mr． Mouse， but I can do nothing but pray for you．" The mouse returned to the house， head down and depressed， 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 caught． In the darkness， she did not see it was a snake whose tail was caught by the trap， and it bit her． The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever．
The farmer killed the chicken to make fresh chicken soup for his wife， but her sickness continued． Friends and neighbors came to visit her， and to feed them， the farmer butchered the pig． Then she died． So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow cooked to provide enough meat for all of them．
The mouse looked upon it all from his hole in the wall with great sadness．
