Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our  1  about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   2  us to start our journey.

Then one morning our dream  3. We hired a car and drove  4  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes  5  on either side of the road   6   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in  7   spirits we were singing merrily.

When we reached Blao Pass, we saw a white  8  in front of us. We   9  down the pass. It seemed to us that the young girl in the white car did not want to be   10  as she was driving at full speed. Suddenly she lost  11  of her car; it turned to the left and crashed into the slope and  12  .

Quite frightened, we braked   13  and jumped out of our car. We turned her car over and pulled out the girl who was  14   in the car. The girl had narrowly escaped death. She was shivering like an aspen (白杨) leaf. In spite of her  15 , she looked very beautiful, just like an angel. When she had  16  from her panic, she timidly (胆小地) thanked us for having rescued her, then she looked at her flat  17  in despair.

Reading her thoughts, we took off our shirts and began to   18   the punctured tyre. We then put on the  19  wheel for her. As soon as the work had been done, we started our  20   again and followed Da Huong Lan—the girl we had helped.

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 shocked to discover it was a mousetrap.

Returning to the farmyard, the mouse warned in a loud voice, “There’s a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a major concern to you, but it is of little significance to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There’s a mousetrap in the house! There’s mousetrap in the house!” The pig showed sympathy, but said, “I am so sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there’s nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said, “There’s a mousetrap in the house! There’s a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said, “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s none of my business.”

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 （配料）

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.

And so, the next time you hear that 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.
