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
