One day a mouse was surprised to discover that the farmer and his wife put a mousetrap in the house. It ran to warn everyone,“There is a mousetrap in the house!”
A hen(鸡)raised his head and said,“Mr Mouse,this mousetrap is only for you. I won't be worried about it.” The mouse turned to a pig,“I am sorry,Mr Mouse,but the mousetrap has nothing to do with me,either!” the pig said. Then the mouse turned to a cow,“It sounds like you have a problem,not me.” the cow said. The mouse returned to the house with head down and it was very sad because no one would help.
That night the farmer's wife heard a loud sound and she rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see that it was a snake. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer heard that the best way to treat a fever was chicken soup. So the farmer killed the hen for the soup. The wife got worse and her friends came to visit her. The farmer had to kill the pig to feed them. But the wife didn't get better and died. Her friends and relatives came and the farmer had to kill the cow to feed all of them.
