The mouse and farm animals.
Greetings my reader friends. I should have posted this yesterday but I ate Chinese rice for dinner on Friday and it made me sick, so I woke up on Saturday with nausea, intestinal pains, stomach aches, headaches, and I could not get out of bed. I couldn't turn on the TV or watch the day through my window because everything bothered me. It was a terrible day.
Today, since I was able to get up and ate some milk, I feel better to share the story of the day.
This is the story of a mouse and a cow. It happens that one bad day a mouse saw a box arriving at the farm house where he lived, he ran to see what had arrived in the house owners' box. When he opened the package, the owners were delighted because they had ordered some mouse traps.
The mouse saw this and jumped up and ran to where the animals were. Worried and still exalted by the great run he made, he commented to the hen...
"You know... the owners bought mouse traps and I'm a little worried about what might happen."
The hen replied... "I don't understand what that could have to do with me, the only thing I can tell you is to take care of yourself." And he walked away.
The mouse ran out to where the lamb was and said...
"My friend, I am worried, the owners of the farm bought mousetraps and I fear for my life" To which the lamb replied.
"The only thing I can do for you is pray if anything happens to you." And he left.
The mouse ran out to where the cow was grazing and said to her.....
"Friend! the owners of the farm bought some mousetraps and I'm worried."
The cow replied... "And what do I have to do with those mousetraps? I'm sorry I don't have time for this" She continued on her way.
The mouse, in view of the fact that he was left without friends to tell his misfortune to, decided to be very attentive to anything strange in the farm.
The next day there happened to be a commotion in the house, a snake had fallen into the mousetrap. When the farmer's wife approached the mousetrap, the snake bit her.
The doctor was quickly called but hopes were slim because the snake was very poisonous. The farmer went to make chicken soup to feed his wife, he went to the chicken coop and took the chicken and slit its throat.
All of a sudden the wife died. Many people came to the vigil, the farmer went out to look for the lamb to kill it and cook it for the people who came to his house.
As the days passed the situation became difficult on the farm and the farmer decided to kill the cow to pay all the expenses and start all over again.
On the farm the only animal left was the little mouse.
Sometimes people don't want to help others simply because the problem is not their own. They don't know that life takes many turns and what doesn't concern me today will be my own problem tomorrow.
The best and simplest thing we can do in life is to help as many people as possible. We can always help in something, with a word of encouragement, with a gesture of affection, with a material good, but the worst thing is that when someone asks you for advice for something that is happening to them, do not tell them that it is not your problem and turn your back on them, that will only be your ruin and in a short time before you know it you will have many more problems than you thought.
There is a phrase that says "he who does not live to serve, is not fit to live." It just means that if you live in your world without helping those who are asking for it in one way or another and you just turn your back on them without telling them even words of encouragement, destiny itself will lead you to travel through very inhospitable paths and will make you change your attitude sooner or later.
Thanks to all my readers and commenters. My apologies for being a little late in reading your posts. As soon as I am fully recovered I will continue to stop by to read and comment or leave my tips depending on my physical condition. Know that I love you all, you are the best.
Also very thankful for the new sponsorships and renewals, we are moving forward.
Indeed, we are here because we are called to love and serve for others too, I love this story it gives so much lesson to us.
