Q. Why do amoebas get their own room
when they go to prison?
They are single-cell organisms
Why did the florist refuse to place
flowers on the graves? He was afraid that he too might end up “pushing
daisies”.
Q. If people were rent my house and they

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 neighbours 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.
