The Cry of the Baby


My mother was doing her Shabbos shopping today when she met her friend Mrs. Segal. Mrs. Segal just came back from visiting her daughter, who just had a baby girl. After wishing Mrs. Segal Mazal Tov, Mrs. Segal told my mother an unbelievable story that had just happened when she was visiting her daughter.
Her children live in a basement apartment. One day the new-born baby was peacefully sleeping in her stroller. Suddenly she started to cry. Mrs. Segal's son-in-law went to check on the baby and rock her. He pushed the baby around and moved her to the other side of the room to where he was working. Soon after he rocked her, the pipe that was over where the stroller had been, burst open. Steaming hot water was pouring out. Had the baby not cried and her father rock her, she could have been severely burnt.
