5.A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package.What food might it contain?He was alarmed to discover that it was a rat trap (捕鼠夾).
Going back to the farmyard the rat gave a warning:"There is a rat trap in the house,a rat trap in the house!"
"I'm sorry,Mr.Rat,"said the pig,"I can only say this is something terrible to you,but it is of no consequence to me.I cannot be bothered with it."
The rat turned to the cow.But the cow said,"Like wow,Mr.Rat?A rattrap?I am in danger,Huh?"
The rat returned to the house,head down and dejected.So the rat had to face the farmer's rattrap alone.
That very night,a sound was heard throughout the house,like the sound of a rattrap catching its prey (獵物).The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.In the darkness,she did not notice that it was a poisonous snake whose tail had been caught by the trap.The snake bit her.The farmer rushed her to hospital.She returned home with a fever.Everyone knows that a fever could be treated with fresh chicken soup,so the farmer took his knife to the farmyard for the soup.However,his wife's sickness continued.
The farmer's friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.To feed them,the farmer killed the pig.But she didn't get well.Finally,she died,and so many people came for the last sight that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you,remember that the whole farmyard is at risk when there is a rattrap in the house.
