What doesn't concern you... is bound to affect you....

Однажды мышь заметила, что хозяин фермы поставил мышеловку. Она рассказала об этом курице, овце и корове. Но все они отвечали: «Мышеловка – это твои проблемы, к нам она никакого отношения не имеет!»

Shortly afterwards, a snake got caught in the mousetrap and bit the farmer's wife. To try to cure her, chicken soup was prepared for the wife. Then a sheep was slaughtered to feed all those who had come to visit the sick woman. Finally, a cow was slaughtered to feed the guests at the funeral.

And all the while, the mouse was watching what was happening through a hole in the wall and thinking about things that had nothing to do with anyone.
