A: I'm in a big trouble!
B: Why is that?
A: I saw a mouse in my house!
B: Oh, well, all you need to do is use a trap.
A: I don't have one.
B: Well then, buy one.
A: Can't afford one.
B: I can give you mine if you want.
A: That sounds good.
B: All you need to do is just use some cheese in order to make the mouse come to the trap.
A: I don't have any cheese.
B: Okay then, take a piece of bread and put a bit of oil in it and put it in the trap.
A: I don't have oil.
B: Well, then put only a small piece of bread.
A: I don't have bread.
B: Then what is the mouse doing at your house?!

***근데=그런데; but;however;(and) yet;nevertheless;still;though;now;for all that;by the way;by the by(e)

***그럼= 【그렇다면】if so;in that case;if[when] it is like that
그러면 내일 오겠습니다 Well then, I shall come tomorrow.
그러면 담배를 끊는 것이 좋겠다 Then, you may as well give up smoking.
그러면 나는 어떻게 해야 하지? In that case, what shall I do?

*조금 기름(조금/좀) 넣고
English; a little조금 oil 기름
Korean: 기름 oil 조금 넣고 put in a little; 조금 can be noun or adverb, not adjective, so it should come before verb, not noun. That is why 조금 기름 (noun and noun) don't work.

Wow! That went better than I was expecting. But I clearly don't know how to use 뿐이다. Can you clear that up for me? I thought it communicated the "all you need to do" / "only" in those sentences.

뿐이다 means only such and no more or only way to do or to be, and no other way, after you have tried everything or seen no better option.
It obviously is used diffently from the meaning of 'all you have to do'.
* 이제 믿을 것은 오직 실력뿐이다. All you can trust is only your ability- that is what's left to do.
* 우리 민족의 염원은 통일뿐이다. our nation's cherished desire is only to be united.
* 가진 것은 이것뿐이다. All I have is only this.

갖고 있는 것이라고는 이것 뿐이다 This is all I have.

아는 것이라고는 그것뿐이다 I know no more than that.
나는 내 의무를 다했을 뿐이다 I have done nothing but my duty.

믿을 사람은 너뿐이다 I have no one but you to count on.

Hi, Austin.
In addition to Henry's answer, I'll show you a better way to translate it.

All you need to do is use a trap.
> 네가 할 일은 덫을 놓는 것 뿐이다.

This is literal one but it's kinda weird to say in colloquial.
More natural way would be..

(너는) 덫을 놓기만 하면 된다.

...기만 하면 되다 is so useful in that case.
You can even express its original nuance of 'only' by using it.

In many cases,
You can say simply as below in order to talk about a solution or alternative though.

덫을 놓으면 되지. (되잖아)

(너는) 덫을 놓기만 하면 된다.

...기만 하면 되다 is so useful in that case.

Right.
You can use '만' to convey the thought in 'all you have to do'.
