A Fable
with a twist in the tail
A mouse, looking through a hole in the wall
He was terrified to see that it was a mousetrap.
He ran to the patio to warn everyone.
So, the rodent went to the lamb and he says the same thing:
"Excuse me Mr. Mouse, but I don't think I can do more than ask for you
in my prayers."
"But am I in danger? I think not!" said the cow.
The mouse returned to the house, worried and dejected to face the
farmer's mousetrap.
That night a great noise was heard like that of the mousetrap
catching its victim,
And in the end, the husband sold the cow to the slaughterhouse
to cover the funeral expenses.
The next time someone tells you about their problem and you think
that it doesn't affect you because it's not yours and you don't pay
attention to it, think twice.
The world is not going badly because of the wickedness of the bad,
but because of the apathy of the good.
So when someone needs you for their problems, give them your hand
or give them a word of encouragement.
May you never lack empathy!
Remember it very well, EMPATHY.
