A mouse lived in the tall savanna grass in Africa all by itself.
There was so many different creatures that roamed in this savanna grass. You
never knew what to expect, so living out there so small anything was bound to
happen. Two snakes lived just about half a mile away from the rest of the
animals in the grass. Theses snakes had something up their sleeve, they were so determined to get the mouse away from it's safety zone. They did not mean no harm, but they thought it would be best if the mouse came with them and traveled a little bit, rather than being stuck in the village not knowing nothing for the rest of it's life. So, the mouse thought long and hard about making this decision and he thought it was the right one. Then, one this day they peered through the grass and seen
the mouse out eating and yelled "Mouse Hey were going to be great friends
one day and you can travel with us back to our tunnel.
: How am I able to, if I'm not
allowed to leave ?"
"No worried about that we
will help you move through the grass without being seen"
As a few days went by, the
mouse sat there waiting for the snakes to come up with a good plan. Waiting on
them to arrive the mouse looked at his surroundings.
Out of nowhere, "Hey
Hey" (the snakes) Are you ready to go across the Savanna grass with
us"
Mouse replied, "Yes I am,
I finally get to have friends"
As, the mouse and Snake tried
to move through the grass without being seen, some of the mouse that lived
close to the mouse and seen him leaving! "Where are you going" "We
see you leaving!!!!"
Looking back the mouse replied,
"All you guys mind your business, I am finally getting from the danger
zone, I will now live with my snake friends and be protected forever!"
Within, 2 seconds a hawk comes
down and grabs the mouse by the head and it kills him instantly. The two snakes
started to move on, and heard the neighborhoods of the mouse say "Man he
thought he was endangered here. but i guess not. Maybe next time he will listen
to us.
Now, the moral of the story is not as deep as people might think it is. The moral or the story is not that the snakes had a master plan up their sleeve to get the mouse killed, but they wanted the mouse to get out his comfort zone and see what the real world was like, being enclosed in the same environment since birth the mouse did not know any better when dealing with the real world. So, to make the long story short, never let peer pressure , pressure you into doing something you know is wrong because at the end of the day you might end up dead like the mouse.
