⚠️ The mousetrap wasn't your problem... until it was.
A small mouse, curious, looked through a hole in the wall and saw it with terror:
the farmer had bought a mousetrap.
He immediately ran to the yard to warn the other animals.
—There’s a mousetrap at home! A mousetrap!
The hen, without stopping to scratch, replied:
—I’m sorry, little mouse, but that doesn’t affect me.
The lamb, among the grass, said:
—I will pray for you… but I can’t do anything.
And the cow, from her shade, declared:
—I’m sorry, but I don’t see how that puts me in danger.
That night… the trap was activated.
But it didn’t catch the mouse.
It caught the tail of a poisonous snake.
The snake, furious, bit the farmer's wife.
He rushed her to the hospital… but came back with a fever.
To cure her, the farmer killed the hen and made her a soup.
The fever didn’t go down.
The neighbors arrived…
And to serve them, he killed the lamb.
The woman died.
And to pay for the funeral… he sold the cow.
The mouse survived.
The others did not.
POWERFUL MORAL:
Do not underestimate the problems of others.
Because what seems “far from you” today,
tomorrow may knock on your door.
📌 The world does not break because of the wickedness of the bad...
It breaks because of the indifference of the good.
👉 Don’t look the other way.
When someone needs you, don’t ask:
"Does this affect me?"
Ask yourself:
"Can I do something good here?"
