"All people matter.You matter.I matter.It`s the hardest thing in theology to believe."-G.K Chesterton. Moral story: 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 shocked to discover that it was a mousetrap!Setting off to the farmyard,the mouse proclaimed the warning,"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 can`t be bothered." The mouse returned 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 think of to do about it.Surely someone else will step in to help." The mouse turned to the cow,who replied,"Like wow,Mr Mouse a mouse trap,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 it`s 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 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.then his wife died and so many people came for the funeral,so the farmer had slaughtered the cow to provide for all. Moral of the story: So 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 threathened,we are all at risk.
