Reaching out to our team

One day, a little mouse living on a farm spied the farmer & his wife opening a package. He was aghast to discover that the package contained, not food, but a

Mouse trap. The mouse ran to the farmyard warning everyone. “There is a mouse trap in the house; there is a mouse trap in the house!”

The chicken raised his head & exclaimed, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this trap is a grave concern to you, but it has no consequence to me & I cannot be bothered with it.”

The mouse turned to the pig………

“I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse, but the trap is no concern of mine either.”

The mouse then turned to the bull……

“Sounds like you have a problem Mr. Mouse, but not one that concerns me.”

The mouse returned to the house, dejected that no one would help him or was concern about his dilemma .He knew he had to face the trap on his own.

That night the sound of a trap catching its pray was heard throughout the house.

The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see

Could not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit farmer’s wife.

The wife caught a bad fever & the farmer new the best way to treat a fever was with

Chicken soup. He took his hatchet to the farmyard to get the soup’s main ingredient.

The wife got sicker, and friends visited her round the clock. The farmer had to feed them, so he butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife got worse and died. So many friends & family came to her funeral that the farmer had to slaughter the bull to feed them all.

So next time we hear that one of our team-mates is facing a problem and think it does not concern or affect us, let us remember this:

When anyone of our Team Members is in trouble,

WE ARE ALL AT RISK
