A Russian fairytale
One day a mouse saw the farmer set up a mousetrap. He went and told that to chicken, sheep and cow, and they all said it is none of their business.
Soon after a snake got caught in the mousetrap and bit the farmer's wife.
In attempt to cure her, they made her chicken soup. Then the sheep was slaughtered to treat those who came to see her. Finally they slaughtered the cow to feed people that attended the funeral.
All this time the mouse was watching events unfold from his hole and thought about things that are, as it seems, nobody's business.
