Reminds Me of R Current Situation

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