Taking harm
The little mouse was walking
happily on it's way of life; it only had to cross the bridge to the
golden peak, then it would finally reach the end.
But it was still
very steep and the area around difficult to survey.
It had to
watch out, so that it wouldn't slither. It struggled bravely.
Then
the mouse saw a man walking next to it and asked him astonished:
"Who
are you?"
"God!" answered he, "I'm walking a
long time close to you. Have you just noticed me now?"- "Well,
yes" said the mouse, "but you know I don't know what to do
with you. The best you go your way and I go mine!"
Then the
little mouse slithered, because it had been careless and talked too
much, it tumbled down the slope and would have perished wretched, if
God hadn't held out a bush.
"I had luck this time" the
little mouse said to the other mice with which it tried to struggle
together along the lost path.
Then three cats passed by and the
mice frightfully scattered apart. All the mice were eaten, accept our
little mouse, because God had surrounded it with darkness, so the
cats couldn't see it.
"How intelligent I ran away from them!"
praised the mouse itself as it reached the bridge to the golden
peak.
"Be careful" warned God, "come and hold my
hand, I will take you to the other side!"
"No!"
laughed the mouse "my whole life I struggled alone, so I will do
the rest on my own, too!"
The Mouse said it, slipped and
descended precipitously in the ravine and ending up lying at the foot
of the mountain.
"You've brought it very far" scorned
the rabbit, which was starting to climb the mountain of life.
JESUS CHRIST says:
Will a man gain anything if he wins
the whole world but is himself
lost or defeated? Luke 9/ 25
