Re: FW: FW: Hold on to your friends

[Guest guest]



....I think this originated with MangoMan. After a few passes I sometimes lose track but anyway it's a wonderful thought.

Kinda like what Eleanor Roosevelt said; "We are the sum total of our lives".

Hope you are doing well today.

<1.3827005061>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.

�

<2.3827005062>

<3.3827005062>

Retreating to the farmyard,

the mouse proclaimed the warning�:

�

There is a mousetrap in the house!�There is a mousetrap in the house!'

�

<4.3827005062>

�

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!

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.'

�

�

<5.3827005063>

�

The mouse turned to the cow and said,

�

'There is a mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!'

�

<6.3827005063>

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.

�

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 venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

�

�

The snake bit the farmer's wife.

�

<7.3827005063>

�

The farmer rushed her to the hospital,

and she returned home with a fever..

<8.3827005063>

�

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.

�

<9.3827005063>

But his wife's sickness continued,

so friends and neighbors came to sit

with her around the clock.

�

To feed them,

the farmer butchered the� pig..

�

<10.3827005063>

�

The farmer's wife did not get well;

she died.

�

�

<11.3827005063>

�

�

So many people came for her funeral,

the farmer had the cow slaughtered to

provide enough meat for all of them.

�

The mouse looked upon it all from his

crack in the wall with great sadness.

�

�

So, the next time you hear someone is

facing a problem and think it doesn't

concern you, remember ----

�

when one of us is threatened,

we are all at risk.

<12.3827005063>

We are all involved in this�

journey called life.

We must keep an eye out�for

one another and make an extra effort

to encourage one another.

�

<13.3827005063>

�

SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO

HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT

AND LET THEM KNOW HOW�

IMPORTANT THEY ARE.�<14.3827005063>REMEMBER. . . . . ..�EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;

�

OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER

FOR A REASON.

One of the best things to hold onto

in this world is a FRIEND.
