Thought Doctor Brought Baby.

A aew family had moved into the neighborhood. The days were Ideal for the six-weeks-old baby to spend its sleeping time on the cool front porch, and the mother took its basket out there, took necessary precautions and went back into the house. It was not long before the little girls in the neighborhood spied the little bundle of humanity in its basket. But none of them had seen the mother put it out there. So one of them went home and said to her mother: “Mother, mother, I think the doctor has brought a new baby to that house over there and left it,on the front porch, and I don’t think they know it has come.”
