So the young mother sat on the sofa and nursed her baby
So she laid her baby down next to her on the sofa
So she could rest while her baby slept
So the baby began to slip behind the cushion
So she fell asleep and dreamed her baby was lost
So she woke "Oh, my baby, where is my baby?"
So she looked everywhere but no baby
So she called her husband and breathlessly told him their baby was gone
So he said "Did you look under the couch?"
So she looked under the couch and there she was
So the baby was smiling like Buddha
So the whole world was teeming with blessings
