Hi Rob ...
Ashley is not feeling to good today ..so if its alright ..I will post it here .. I am sure Ashley won't mind if I do ..but if he does ..he KNOWS where I live .. 
The Mousetrap
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the
farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain?
He was aghast to discover that it was a mousetrap! Retreating to
the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning, "There is a mouse
trap 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 you 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." "I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse,"
sympathized the pig, "but there is nothing I can do about it
but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "Like wow, Mr.
Mouse, a mousetrap; am I in grave danger, Duh?"
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and
dejected 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 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 his hatchet to the farmyard
for the soup's main ingredient.
His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbours
came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer
butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and
so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow
slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a
problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that
when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
Rick ..
