A mouse looked through a 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 that it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There's a mousetrap in the house! There's a mousetrap in the house!" 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 cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" 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 rejected, 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. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Now everybody knows that you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

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.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for the 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, all of us are in danger. We are all involved in this journey we call life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

MORAL: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON!!!!!

WE WON!!!! now you can say all you want "the only reason that we won is because Carson Palmer got hurt. although i found that on his first pass play in the playoffs that he tore his ACL and something else was absolutely hilarious. so thats the good thing. bad. . we play the colts next. o joy. i'm gonna try to have faith in em but truthfully unless peyton has the worst game of his life then we're gonna lose. ok so thats all for now.
