Mouse Trap Story

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 neighbors 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. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.

REMEMBER,,,, EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON’S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

Boy and Tree

There was one time a very young boy, who used to spend time playing by a tree.

One day he got bored and he said to the tree, “I’m bored, I’ve played with these toys too many times!”

The tree replied, “OK, you can climb up on me and play on my branches.”

The boy got really happy with this suggestion and he had a lot of fun playing and sitting high up, on the branches of the tree.

When he started school, he spent more time away from the tree, but one day he came back to it, and the tree was overjoyed to see its young companion, and it encouraged him to climb on, but he refused.

“My clothes are going to get dirty if I climb up on you.”
So the tree thought for a while, and said, “OK, bring a rope and tie it to me, and you can use my branches as a swing.”

The boy liked that idea, so he did that too, and would come back every other day to sit for a while on that swing.

Whenever he used to get hot, the tree told him to rest in its shade.

As he got older, and moved on to college, times became harder on him and he ran short of food, so he went back to the tree which he had stopped visiting for a long time.

The tree recognised him immediately and welcomed him, but he was hungry and complained to the tree, “I dont have any food to eat, my stomach is cringing with hunger.”

So the tree said, “Pull down my branches and take off the fruit, and fill yourself up.”

The young guy didnt even hesitate, but jumped up and tore off one of the smaller branches and ate to his fill.

Over the weeks, he tore off all the branches and ate all the fruit.

After the fruits had all gone, he went away and didnt come back to the tree.

When he reached his middle ages, he came back to the tree and said to it, “I have been very successful in life.

I have earned a lot of money, I have a huge house and I have found a great wife.

Now I want to travel and see the world.”

The tree was now very old, but to help its long time companion, it didnt wait, and said, “Bring a saw, cut off my trunk and make a boat. Then you will see the wonders of the world.”

So again, without hesitation the man cut down the tree.

The same tree which he had played on, ate its fruit, laid in its shade; he cut it down and made a boat.

As soon as it was finished, he sailed away and wasnt seen by his people again.

One day, an old man, walked past the tree.

It hadnt recovered from the time he had cut it down. He went up to the tree, but didnt say anything.

He felt the tears coming down from his eyes.

This time the tree spoke in a faint voice, “I’m sorry. I dont have a trunk for you to climb, nor fruit for you to eat, nor branches of shade for you to lie in. All I have now are my deep roots.”

The old man whispered, “That’s fine. Tree roots are the best place to lie down, snuggle up and sleep after a long life.”

The tree symbolizes our parents, and the boy symbolizes us.

The moral of the story is that we make use of our parents like tissue, and use them all up, and dont even give thanks, but they stay with us till the very end.

clever girl

A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they're atheists too. Just to please their teacher and wanting to be like her, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception. 

A beautiful girl named Zainab has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not an atheist."

Then, asks the teacher, "What are you?"

"I'm a Muslim."

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Zainab why she is a Muslim. "Well, I was brought up knowing and loving God. My mom is a Muslim, and my dad is a Muslim, so I am a Muslim."

The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly, "what if your mom was a moron,and your dad was a moron, - what would you be then?"

She paused, and smiled. "Then," says Zainab, "I'd be an atheist."

[a moron is a dumb, stupid person]

An incident which will make u smile :)

One hot day, an old man was relaxing under the shade of a walnut tree. Admiring the tree, he started wondering why the huge pumpkins grew on vines and the small walnuts grew on a majestic tree.

"Sometimes I just don't understand the ways of ALLAH!" He mused. why did He make tiny walnuts grow on such a majestic tree and huge pumpkins on delicate vines!

Just then a walnut snapped off and fell on the man's bald head.

"Ouch!" he moaned with pain. He got up at once, raised his hands and said:

"O Allah! Forgive me when I whine and question your wisdom!

You are All- Wise...What would have happened to me now, if pumpkins grew on trees?!"

Kisah Si Angkuh Bongkak

 Dalam al-Quran diceritakan perihal seorang lelaki yang diberi Allah kurnia berupa dua kebun anggur. Kedua kebun itu dikelilingi pohon-pohon kurma. Dan di antara dua kebun itu dibuatkan ladang. Dan dialirkan sungai di celah-celah kedua kebun tersebut. Kedua kebun itu menghasilkan buah yang melimpah ruah.Dengan tuaian besar setiap musimnya itu si pemilik kebun  menjadi kaya raya. Akan tetapi kekayaan yang dimilikinya tidak menjadikan lelaki itu rendah hati di hadapan Allah, apatah lagi mensyukuri kurnia Allah yang diberikan kepadanya. Pemilik kebun itu tidak mahu berterima kasih kepada Allah atas kurnia yang telah diberikan Allah kepadanya. Dia lalu bersikap kufur(ingkar) dan melampaui batas.

 Dia bahkan bersikap bongkak dan menafikan rahmat Allah atas kekayaan yang dimilikinya. Dia dengan sombong berkata sesamanya:

Surah al-Kahfi, ayat 34:

"Tuan kebun itu pula ada mempunyai harta (yang lain); lalu berkatalah dia kepada rakannya, semasa dia berbincang dengannya: Aku lebih banyak harta daripadamu, dan lebih berpengaruh dengan pengikut-pengikutku yang ramai."

Surah al-Kahfi, ayat 35:

"Dan dia pun masuk ke kebunnya (bersama-sama rakannya), sedang dia berlaku zalim kepada dirinya sendiri (dengan sebab kufurnya), sambil dia berkata: Aku tidak fikir, kebun ini akan binasa selama-lamanya."

 Dia bahkan menganiayai dirinya sendiri ketika berkata di kebunnya: "Aku kira kebun ini tidak akan binasa selama-lamanya.".Lelaki kafir itu bahkan bertambah ingkar kepada Allah dengan menafikan adanya hari kiamat dan hari kebangkitan :

Surah al-Kahfi, ayat 36:

"Dan aku tidak fikir, hari kiamat akan berlaku.."

 Keangkuhan si pemilik kebun itu bahkan sampai pada titik didihnya dengan ucapan keangkuhannya:

Surah al-Kahfi, ayat 36:

"Dan kalaulah aku dikembalikan kepada Tuhanku (sebagaimana kepercayaanmu), tentulah aku akan mendapat tempat kembali yang lebih baik daripada ini."

 Atas kekufuran(keingkaran) dan kebongkakan pemilik dua kebun itu, Allah menyegerakan hukumanNya kepada manusia itu:

Surah al-Kahfi, ayat 42:

"Dan segala tanaman serta hartabendanya itupun dibinasakan, lalu jadilah dia membalik-balikkan kedua tapak tangannya (kerana menyesal) terhadap segala perbelanjaan yang telah dibelanjakannya pada kebun-kebunnya, sedang kebun-kebun itu runtuh junjung-junjung tanamannya; sambil dia berkata: Alangkah baiknya kalau aku tidak sekutukan sesuatupun dengan Tuhanku."

ANJING DENGAN BAYANG-BAYANG

    Pada suatu hari, seekor anjing  yang kelaparan merayau-rayau di sebuah lorong untuk mencari makanan. Akhirnya ia berjumpa seketul tulang didalam sebuah tong sampah.  Anjing itu terus  menggonggong tulang itu dan berlari menuju ke rumahnya. Dalam perjalanan anjing itu melalui sebuah jambatan di atas sebatang anak sungai. Sambil meniti jambatan, anjing itu terpandang bayang-bayangnya di permukaan sungai. Ia menyangka ada seekor anjing lain dengan seketul tulang. Perasaan tamak mula menguasai dirinya. Anjing itu ingin mendapatkan 'tulang' daripada 'anjing' itu. Tanpa berfikir panjang, ia pun menyalak. Sebaik saja ia membuka mulutnya untuk menyalak, tulang yang digonggongnya pun jatuh ke dalam sungai.  Anjing itu menyesal kerana tulang yang dijumpainya tadi terjatuh ke dalam sungai disebabkan sifat tamaknya.
