THE MOUSE TRAP

True one to read... nice n inspiring

It is great insight. It is a good reminder. A great lesson to remember and act.

It reminds me of the line one ocassionally reads now days that if you see some wrong happening to your neighbor and you remain silent, beware you will be the next one to suffer same 

Infact very reminding!! We all should not ever forget of the fact we may be concerned with every problem which any of us face... it can be environmental crisis or food crisis or it can even be endangering of wild life.

Thank you for sharing such a lovely cute educating fable. 

This marvelous insight reminded me who Moved my Cheese. Seems Mouse always preaches us great thing. Lovely & great insight.

Really great story.....there is so much to learn here from all of your comments too :)

A story with moral very well narated/told by Krunal and very well read and interperated by Mr. K.Narayan. We should avoid being both the farmer and the cows/pigs/hens.

Nice story to read, but the mouse is very lucky

Thank you for referring this. Not being concerned about anything around us but only our own career and property has become the trend of the day, very much acknowledged as 'strength of character' and 'target-orientedness' in workplaces I see. Actually all those cows and pigs are called to be most 'intelligent' of all animal varities roaming around in the professional sectors. Nice to see people admiring parables or fables too.

In a Society full of Chicken, Pigs & Cows, Mice will have to struggle on their own, while Chicken, Pigs & Cows continue to live in rank-selfishness.

well written

Awesome Insight! Thanks for referral

Friend in need is a friend indeed. Today, it is your problem, tomorrow it can be mine. Collaborate to overcome disaster. United we stand, divided we fall. A problem may appear deceptively trivial until it is solved. Rely on the solution and never trust the problem.

I think we can draw another lesson from this , which applies to all in this era of globalization - who was the real loser in this parable ?

The farmer of course ! In order to overcome one problem of his , the mouse , he bought a mousetrap , and then lost his chicken , pig , cow , and wife ! And why ? Because his real enemy was the snake.

Companies should note that when you tackle the wrong problems , you end up the loser , since even the problem which is solved does not help , it only creates more problems.

Thus a lot of companies consider retrenchment the first line of attack during a recession ; in actual fact , it never helps.

A very good parable, Krunal...
It is very important for all to be focused on the mouse trap and this is directly related to systemic thinking, where everybody is involved and it affects everybody. 

Good one Krunal, one of the greatest lessons of life.  Not just a story to read, but to remember for a long, long time to come...

Good story to tell people," not to be selfish". Be concerned about other's problem. May be today, you are not directly involved. But, tomorrow it may be yours.

Very interesting Article enjoyed every bit of it. The mouse trap is more prelevent in Urban areas. Probably the villages are a little bit different.

Very Nice Kurnal. Its also quiet true.

And then to each the fruits of his/her own action. People don't want a mouse in their house because of the Mouse's "Action". However, in this case the poor Chicken, Pig and cow had to pay for all the misdeeds of the mouse. 

Hence, the moral must also be "Choose your friend correctly"

Nice Story, this story applies to us also. Every person is scared of the traps and ask  for the help finally finds himself alone and there is no other way then facing it.Ya if we have the sharp teeth (a power to escape) we can help over selves. 

All these mouse traps are here around you.... be carefull. Don't be the chicken, pig or cow ..... I mean selfish....

Good one .... need to learn ...
